Disp fx of base of nk of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture at the base of the femoral neck on the right side that has shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin or was exposed to the outside) of either Type I or Type II severity, and the patient is now presenting for follow-up care due to the fracture not healing at the expected rate.

Use this code for a patient who has previously undergone treatment for an open Type I or II displaced right femoral neck fracture and is now being seen for ongoing management because the healing process is prolonged. This applies to situations where the fracture site remains unstable or shows insufficient callus formation after the typical healing period.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for an open Type I or II fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right femur) and the specific anatomical site (base of neck).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
