Nondisp artic fx head of unsp femr, 7thQ

This code describes a fracture involving the joint surface of the femoral head that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has subsequently healed in a misaligned position.

This code is used for follow-up encounters when a patient is being treated for complications related to a previously sustained open, nondisplaced articular fracture of the femoral head, and imaging confirms malunion. This would apply during rehabilitation, follow-up appointments, or when addressing issues stemming from the improper healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced articular fracture of the femoral head" and "malunion."
• Verify the original injury was an open fracture type I or II.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
