Nondisp midcervical fx l femr, 7thQ

This code describes a left femur fracture located in the middle portion of the femoral neck that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the original injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) that has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

This code is used when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously treated open midcervical left femur fracture that has now developed a malunion. It applies to situations where the fracture was initially open but is currently nondisplaced, and the focus is on managing the complications of improper healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" femur and "midcervical" fracture location.
• Verify that the original fracture was an "open" type I or II and that "malunion" is explicitly diagnosed.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use for initial treatment of the fracture.
