Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femr, 7thR

This code describes a femur fracture located in the middle of the neck of the femur that has not been displaced from its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that has healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously treated open midcervical femur fracture that has healed with malunion. This applies when the initial injury was a severe open fracture and the current encounter is for ongoing management of the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "subsequent encounter" and "malunion."
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically midcervical and nondisplaced.
