Nondisp transverse fx shaft of unsp femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the main shaft of the femur that runs straight across the bone, without the bone fragments being out of alignment. The fracture is not new and is currently in a phase where it is healing slower than expected, but the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed transverse femoral shaft fracture that is not displaced, and the physician explicitly notes delayed healing. This would include situations where the patient is undergoing continued conservative management or preparing for potential intervention due to the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "shaft" and is "transverse" and "nondisplaced."
• This "G" encounter code is for subsequent care during the healing phase, not the initial treatment.
