Displ transverse fx shaft of r femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture across the shaft of their right femur, where the bone fragments are no longer aligned. The fracture is being managed non-surgically (closed treatment), and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of a right femoral shaft fracture that was displaced and is now healing routinely. It applies when the patient is seen for cast checks, follow-up X-rays, or physical therapy during the normal course of recovery for a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" femur and "transverse" fracture of the "shaft."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial care or delayed/nonunion.
• Confirm the fracture was treated non-surgically (closed) and is not experiencing complications.
