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

This code signifies a displaced fracture located at the base of the neck of the right femur, which has been previously treated. The fracture was initially an open fracture of either Type I or Type II, and the current encounter addresses a complication where the bone fragments have healed in an abnormal alignment (malunion).

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a history of a specific open right femoral neck fracture (base of neck, displaced) is being treated for a malunion. This would include scenarios such as planning for corrective surgery for the malunion, or ongoing management of symptoms related to the malaligned healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the reason for the current encounter, not just a routine follow-up.
• Verify the original fracture was indeed an open fracture type I or II, and located at the base of the neck of the right femur.
• Confirm the fracture is "displaced" as this is a key component of the code.
