ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of epiphysis (separation) (upper) of unspecified femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a non-displaced fracture of the upper part of the femur, specifically involving the epiphysis. The fracture is currently undergoing routine healing and is being managed as a closed injury.
This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed non-displaced epiphyseal fracture of the upper femur. It should be used when the fracture is healing as expected without complications and no further surgical intervention is planned for this encounter.
