Nondisp oblique fx shaft of l femr, 7thN

This code describes a situation where a patient has a nondisplaced oblique fracture of the shaft of their left femur, and this is a follow-up visit. Importantly, the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the fracture has not healed as expected (nonunion).

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced oblique open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) of the left femoral shaft is being treated for nonunion. This applies to ongoing management, assessment, or intervention related to the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "oblique" for the fracture type.
• Verify the original open fracture was classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and that nonunion is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific fracture and nonunion would use a different code.
