Oth fx right femur, subs for opn fx type I/2 w malunion

This code describes a situation where a patient has previously sustained a fracture of the right femur, excluding those specifically classified as shaft, distal end, or proximal end fractures. The original injury was an open fracture of Gustilo type I or II, and the bone has healed in a misaligned or deformed position. This code is used during follow-up care for this specific complication.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a malunion following a previously treated open fracture (Gustilo type I or II) of the right femur, where the fracture location is not precisely defined as proximal, shaft, or distal. This would apply during clinic visits for assessment, physical therapy, or surgical planning related to correcting the malunion.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication and that the original fracture was an open fracture type I or II.
• Verify the laterality is "right femur" and that the fracture site is not more specifically identified (e.g., proximal, shaft, distal).
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the malunion would use a different seventh character.
