Disp fx of low epiphy (separation) of r femr, 7thD

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the growth plate (epiphysis) in the lower part of the right femur. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this injury, specifically for a closed fracture that is healing routinely without complications. The displacement refers to the bone fragments being out of their normal alignment.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed displaced lower right femoral epiphyseal fracture. This is appropriate when the fracture has been reduced (closed treatment) and is progressing through an expected healing course. Use for routine cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing good alignment, or general monitoring during the healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "lower epiphysis" to support this specific site.
• Verify that the encounter is for a "subsequent" phase of care and that healing is "routine" for accurate sequencing.
• Confirm the fracture was treated as "closed" to differentiate from open fracture care.
