Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r femr, 7thE

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a transverse fracture of the shaft of their right femur, which was initially an open fracture classified as Type I or Type II. The fracture is currently nondisplaced and is healing routinely without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for the healing of a previously treated open transverse femoral shaft fracture (right side) that was initially nondisplaced. It signifies that the healing process is progressing as expected for an open fracture of Type I or II.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the right femoral shaft, is transverse, and was initially an open fracture Type I or II.
• Confirm that healing is routine; use different codes for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
