S72.033P
ICD-10-CMDisplaced midcervical fracture of unspecified femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion
This code signifies a fracture in the middle portion of the femur's neck (cervical region) that has shifted out of its normal alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the fracture, which was not open to the skin, has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.
Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment or evaluation of a previously sustained midcervical femur fracture that is now complicated by malunion. This is appropriate when the initial fracture was closed and the current encounter addresses the consequences or management of the improper healing.
