Displ midcervical fx unsp femur, subs for clos fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture located in the middle portion of the neck of the femur, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture has not healed as expected, indicating a nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment after the initial encounter.

Use this code for patients who have previously been treated for a displaced midcervical femoral fracture and are now presenting with evidence of nonunion. This applies to subsequent visits for ongoing management, evaluation of healing, or preparation for further intervention for the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "midcervical" for the femoral neck fracture.
• Verify that "nonunion" is explicitly documented, indicating a failure of the fracture to heal.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
