Complete transverse atyp femoral fracture, right leg, 7thD

This code signifies a complete fracture of the right femur, characterized by an atypical transverse pattern, indicating a specific type of stress fracture often associated with long-term bisphosphonate use. The "subsequent encounter" designation means the patient is receiving routine follow-up care during the healing phase of this previously diagnosed fracture.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a patient is presenting for routine post-fracture care, such as cast checks, physical therapy, or follow-up imaging, for a right-sided complete transverse atypical femoral fracture. The medical record must clearly state the fracture is healing routinely without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "complete" and "transverse atypical" to differentiate from other femoral fracture types.
• Verify the encounter is for routine healing; use a different seventh character for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
• Confirm laterality (right leg) is explicitly documented to avoid coding errors.
