Fx unsp part of neck of r femur, subs for clos fx w nonunion

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture in an unspecified part of the neck of their right femur, and they are presenting for follow-up care. The fracture was initially closed, meaning the skin was not broken, but it has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for documenting subsequent encounters for a right femoral neck fracture that has not united. This would include follow-up appointments, imaging studies to assess nonunion, or discussions regarding further treatment options for the nonunion. It should be used when the initial fracture was closed and the specific location within the femoral neck is not documented.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is of the right femur and was initially a closed fracture.
