Nondisp seg fx shaft of unsp femr, 7thG

This code describes a fracture involving a segment of the femoral shaft that is not displaced from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing slower than expected, but the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed, non-displaced segmental femur shaft fracture is experiencing delayed healing. This is appropriate when the fracture has not yet united and the physician documents that healing is progressing slower than anticipated for a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "shaft" and "segmental" to differentiate from other femur fracture types.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
