Nondisp midcervical fx r femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (Type I or II) that is experiencing delayed healing.

This code is used when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed open midcervical fracture of the right femur that is not healing as expected. It applies to follow-up visits, cast changes, or other treatments related to the delayed union of the fracture. This code should be selected when the initial injury was an open fracture, and the healing process is prolonged.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "subsequent encounter" and "delayed healing" for an open fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is "midcervical" and laterality is "right femur."
• Do not use for initial treatment or for routine healing without documented delay.
