This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a closed fracture of an unspecified part of the femoral neck, where the healing process is taking longer than expected. It indicates that the initial injury has already occurred and the patient is now being seen for ongoing management of the delayed union.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments related to a previously diagnosed and treated closed femoral neck fracture that is not healing at the anticipated rate. This includes situations where imaging shows persistent fracture lines or clinical signs of non-union are developing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for a closed femoral neck fracture.
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm that the specific part of the femoral neck (e.g., subcapital, transcervical) was not documented, or the fracture location is truly unspecified.
