Nondisp oblique fx shaft of l femr, 7thP

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a left femoral shaft fracture that was oblique in nature and initially nondisplaced, but has subsequently healed in a misaligned position (malunion). The fracture itself is no longer open to the environment.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care or evaluation of a patient whose previously treated left femoral shaft fracture has healed with an unacceptable angulation or rotation. This would include scenarios where surgical correction of the malunion is being considered or managed, or during physical therapy for functional deficits related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the left femur.
• Verify the fracture was initially "nondisplaced" and "oblique" to align with this specific code.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
