Complete transverse atyp femoral fracture, left leg, 7thD

This code signifies a complete break across the shaft of the left femur, specifically an atypical fracture, which is often associated with long-term bisphosphonate use. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters of a patient with a previously diagnosed complete transverse atypical fracture of the left femur that is progressing with routine healing. Documentation should clearly state "subsequent encounter" and indicate no healing complications, such as nonunion or delayed union.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "complete transverse" and "atypical" to differentiate from other femoral fracture types.
• Verify the laterality (left leg) is clearly documented.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care with routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters with healing complications.
