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

This code describes a fracture located in the middle portion of the neck of the left femur, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the treatment involves non-surgical methods, with the fracture healing as expected.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced midcervical fracture of the left femur is undergoing routine follow-up without surgical intervention. This applies when the fracture is healing appropriately through conservative management, such as casting or bracing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "midcervical" for accurate code selection.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Confirm that the healing process is routine and that the fracture is being managed non-surgically.
