Nondisp seg fx shaft of unsp femr, 7thQ

This code describes a femur shaft fracture that is broken into multiple pieces (segmental) but remains in its natural alignment (nondisplaced). It specifically applies when the fracture was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has subsequently healed in an abnormal position (malunion).

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for complications arising from a previously sustained open segmental femur shaft fracture that has healed with malunion. This would include scenarios such as evaluating the functional impact of the malunion or planning corrective surgery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "segmental" and "nondisplaced" for the fracture type.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
