Displ oblique fx shaft of r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a diagonal break in the main part of their right thigh bone. The initial injury was an open fracture, meaning the bone broke through the skin, classified as either Type I or Type II, and is now healing without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a healing open oblique shaft fracture of the right femur, specifically when the healing process is progressing routinely. This would include follow-up appointments for cast checks, wound care, or physical therapy during the routine healing phase.

• Confirm the fracture is an oblique shaft fracture of the right femur and was initially open (Type I or II).
• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care and the healing is considered routine, not complicated.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if complications such as delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion are present.
