Nondisp fx of low epiphy (separation) of r femr, 7thQ

This code signifies a right femoral growth plate fracture that is not displaced and has previously been openly reduced for a Type I or II open fracture. The patient is now presenting for a subsequent encounter, and the fracture is healing with malunion.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient with a history of an open right distal femoral epiphyseal fracture (Type I or II) is being managed for a malunion. This includes assessments for ongoing treatment, monitoring, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "subsequent encounter" and "malunion" for this specific fracture site.
• Verify the fracture was initially an open fracture, Type I or II, as this impacts the seventh character.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is healing normally or with nonunion.
