Nondisp oblique fx shaft of r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right thigh bone that runs diagonally, but the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates that this is not the initial treatment for the injury, and the fracture involved a break in the skin (classified as Type I or II open fracture) that is now healing without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits after the initial treatment of an open, nondisplaced oblique fracture of the right femoral shaft. It should be used when the patient is receiving routine care for the healing fracture, such as cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy, and there are no signs of delayed healing or nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "oblique" for the fracture type.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care and the open fracture type (I or II) is documented.
• Confirm "routine healing" is indicated; otherwise, a different seventh character may be required.
