Displ oblique fx shaft of r femr, 7thM

This code signifies a non-healing oblique fracture located in the shaft of the right femur, which was initially an open fracture of either Type I or Type II. The patient is currently in a later stage of care, specifically addressing the failure of the fracture to unite.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up care for a patient whose right femoral shaft fracture, initially open, has not healed properly and is now considered a nonunion. It applies when the fracture pattern is specifically oblique and located in the shaft.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the initial open fracture was classified as Type I or Type II.
• Confirm the fracture is located in the shaft of the right femur and has an oblique pattern.
