Nondisp oblique fx shaft of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a left femoral shaft fracture that is oblique and nondisplaced. The fracture is being managed as a closed injury, and the healing process is progressing routinely. This indicates the patient is past the initial acute treatment phase.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed closed, nondisplaced oblique fracture of the left femoral shaft. This applies when the fracture is healing as expected without complications. Examples include routine follow-up appointments for cast checks, X-rays to monitor callus formation, or physical therapy evaluations during the healing phase.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically nondisplaced and oblique to the femoral shaft.
• Confirm the healing is routine and not complicated by delayed union, nonunion, or malunion, which would require different codes.
