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

This code signifies a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck, specifically a nondisplaced type, that is currently in a subsequent encounter phase. The fracture is closed, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site, and the primary complication noted is nonunion, indicating the bone fragments are failing to heal together.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced closed fracture of the base of the femoral neck, where the provider documents ongoing treatment for the fracture and explicitly states that nonunion is present. This is appropriate when the initial treatment for the closed fracture has concluded, but the bone has not healed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for accurate site and displacement.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and that "nonunion" is explicitly documented as the current complication.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is healing normally.
