Complete oblique atypical femoral fracture, right leg, 7thP

This code signifies a fully broken femur in the right leg, where the fracture line runs diagonally, and it's considered "atypical." The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the bone has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing care of a right femoral fracture that was previously diagnosed as complete and oblique, with documentation confirming an atypical nature and evidence of malunion. This is appropriate when the patient is past the initial healing phase and is being managed for the complication of malunion.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "complete," "oblique," and "atypical" for the femoral fracture.
• Verify laterality (right leg) is clearly documented.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and specifically addresses the malunion, not initial treatment or routine follow-up without complications.
