Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r femr, 7thN

This code signifies a subsequent encounter for a nondisplaced transverse fracture of the shaft of the right femur that was initially an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). The key clinical finding for this code is the presence of nonunion, meaning the bone has failed to heal after a typical healing period.

Use this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient whose right femoral shaft fracture, initially open, has not united. This applies to follow-up visits where nonunion is confirmed and managed, such as for surgical planning for revision fixation or continued conservative management of the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" for the right femoral shaft fracture.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed an open fracture of Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
