Disp fx of base of nk of r femr, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck on the right side, which has been displaced from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is currently undergoing treatment for a malunion, meaning the bone fragments have healed in an incorrect alignment, and this encounter represents a follow-up visit for this specific complication.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management or evaluation of a previously treated, displaced right femoral neck fracture that has healed improperly (malunion). This would apply to scenarios such as follow-up appointments after initial treatment, assessment for corrective surgery, or monitoring the progress of conservative management for the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication of the closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is of the "base of neck" of the right femur, not another part of the femur.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment phase.
