Displ midcervical fx r femur, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture located in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur that has been displaced from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is currently healing routinely without complications, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur. It applies when the fracture is closed, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture, and the healing process is progressing as expected.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is precisely "midcervical" and on the "right femur."
• Do not use for initial encounters, nonunion, malunion, or open fractures.
