Nondisp fx of base of nk of l femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck on the left side, which has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing as quickly as expected, but the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced left femoral neck base fracture. This is specifically for situations where the healing process is prolonged, and the fracture has not yet united. It would be used after the initial treatment phase, but before the fracture is fully healed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "base of neck" of the left femur.
• Confirm the encounter is for "delayed healing" of a closed fracture, not initial treatment or malunion/nonunion.
• Always check for laterality (left vs. right) and the specific fracture site within the femur.
