Nondisp spiral fx shaft of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a spiral fracture located in the shaft of the left femur that has not shifted from its original position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is being managed non-surgically with an expectation of normal healing.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed, non-displaced spiral fracture of the left femoral shaft. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing as expected without complications and no surgical intervention has occurred.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "spiral" fracture of the left femoral shaft.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care of a closed fracture with routine healing.
• Verify laterality (left femur) is clearly documented.
