Oth fracture of left femur, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the left femur, excluding those of the neck, shaft, or lower end, that is currently undergoing routine healing. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site. This code is used during follow-up care after the initial treatment.

Use this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions for a left femoral fracture that is not a neck, shaft, or lower end fracture. The encounter should occur after the initial treatment phase, and the fracture should be progressing as expected without complications.

• Ensure the fracture is specifically of the left femur and not a neck, shaft, or lower end fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care and the fracture is closed with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
