Nondisp commnt fx shaft of r femr, 7thK

This code signifies a right femur fracture that involves multiple bone fragments (comminuted) but remains in its natural anatomical position (nondisplaced). The fracture is located in the main shaft of the bone, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care where the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and the skin over the fracture site is intact (closed).

Apply this code for follow-up encounters of a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced comminuted right femoral shaft fracture that has not united. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing ongoing treatment, evaluation, or management for the nonunion of this specific closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced," "comminuted," "shaft of right femur," and "nonunion."
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and not an initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin integrity over the fracture site is maintained).
