Disp fx of epiphy (separation) (upper) of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the growth plate (epiphysis) in the upper part of the left femur that is currently undergoing routine healing after initial treatment. It indicates a follow-up encounter where the fracture is closed, meaning the skin is intact, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced epiphyseal fracture of the proximal left femur is seen for follow-up care. This applies when the fracture is healing routinely and no complications like delayed union, nonunion, or malunion are present.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care of a closed fracture, not an open one.
• Verify that the healing is described as "routine" or "normal" to differentiate from delayed or nonunion.
• Confirm the fracture location is specifically the upper epiphysis of the left femur.
