Nondisp spiral fx shaft of r femr, 7thG

This code describes a right femur fracture that is spiral in nature, located in the shaft of the bone, and has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care, and the fracture is healing slower than expected without surgical intervention.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced spiral fracture of the right femoral shaft. This is appropriate when the fracture has not yet fully united and is exhibiting delayed healing, and the treatment remains non-surgical.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "spiral" fracture of the femoral shaft.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and explicitly mentions delayed healing of a closed fracture.
• Verify the laterality is "right" to match the code.
