Nondisp artic fx head of r femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture involving the joint surface of the femoral head on the right side, which has not shifted from its normal position. It specifically indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and that the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a nondisplaced articular fracture of the right femoral head that was initially an open fracture and is now experiencing delayed healing. This applies to situations where the patient is still under active care for this specific complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "articular" for the femoral head fracture.
• Verify the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and that delayed healing is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter code would be used for the acute injury.
