Nondisp transverse fx shaft of unsp femr, 7thE

This code describes a transverse fracture of the femoral shaft that is not displaced and is healing routinely. It specifically applies to an open fracture (Type I or II) that is being managed in a subsequent encounter, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is recovering from a previously treated open transverse femoral shaft fracture. This applies when the fracture is healing as expected without complications and no further surgical intervention is planned for the current encounter.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a transverse fracture of the femoral shaft and an open fracture type I or II.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for ongoing care, not an initial treatment or a sequela.
• Verify the healing is documented as routine, without mention of delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
