Nondisp artic fx head of r femr, 7thF

This code describes a fracture of the femoral head on the right side that involves the joint surface but has not shifted from its original position. It specifically indicates that the fracture is an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is currently in a routine healing phase during a subsequent encounter.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced articular fracture of the right femoral head. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the healing process is progressing without complications. It is appropriate for monitoring fracture union and rehabilitation during the recovery period.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "articular" involvement of the femoral head.
• Verify the fracture is on the "right" side and was initially classified as an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for routine healing, not an initial treatment or encounter for delayed/nonunion.
