Nondisp artic fx head of r femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture of the top portion of the right thigh bone, specifically within the joint, that has not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as Type I or Type II, and the healing process is progressing as expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed open articular fracture of the right femoral head. It should be used when the fracture is nondisplaced and the healing is considered routine, following the initial acute phase of injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "articular" for the femoral head fracture.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and this is a "subsequent encounter."
• Confirm that the healing is progressing routinely, without complications or delayed healing.
