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

This code describes a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck, which has shifted from its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates an open fracture (where the bone has broken through the skin) classified as type I or II, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced open femoral neck fracture (Type I or II) is experiencing delayed union. This would apply to situations where the fracture site is still not showing adequate signs of healing at a typical timeframe.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "base of neck" for accurate site specificity.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) and evidence of delayed healing are clearly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
