Complete transverse atyp femoral fracture, right leg, 7thP

This code signifies a complete fracture of the right femur that extends across the bone, exhibiting characteristics of an atypical femoral fracture (AFF), which are often associated with long-term bisphosphonate use. The fracture has previously been treated, but healing has resulted in a malunion, meaning the bone fragments have healed in an incorrect anatomical position. This encounter is for ongoing management of the malunited fracture.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care, evaluation, or treatment of a previously sustained, complete transverse atypical femoral fracture of the right leg that has healed with malunion. Documentation should clearly state the fracture's atypical nature, its complete transverse morphology, its location in the right femur, and the presence of malunion during a subsequent encounter.

• Ensure documentation specifies "complete transverse" and "atypical" to differentiate from other femoral fracture types.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented, not just delayed healing or nonunion.
• Always sequence this code after any acute fracture codes if the malunion is being treated concurrently with a new injury, or as a primary diagnosis when the malunion is the focus of the encounter.
