Nondisp oblique fx shaft of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a non-displaced oblique fracture located in the shaft of the right femur. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for an open fracture, specifically Type I or II, and is experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open oblique fracture of the right femoral shaft that was classified as Type I or II. This is appropriate when the fracture is not yet fully healed and the healing process is prolonged beyond the expected timeframe.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "oblique" for the fracture morphology.
• Verify the original open fracture type (I or II) and evidence of delayed healing in the medical record.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
