Nondisp fx of base of nk of r femr, 7thK

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture at the base of the neck of their right femur that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" specifies that the bone has failed to heal properly.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right femoral neck fracture, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture fragments have not united. This would apply to scenarios such as ongoing management, evaluation for surgical intervention due to nonunion, or conservative treatment for a nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for the right femur.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm that the physician's assessment or imaging reports explicitly state "nonunion" of the fracture.
