Nondisp spiral fx shaft of l femr, 7thK

This code describes a left femur fracture that runs in a spiral pattern along the bone's shaft, where the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment of this ongoing issue, with the skin over the fracture remaining intact.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced spiral fracture of the left femoral shaft is seen for management of a confirmed nonunion. This includes visits for surgical planning, cast changes, or evaluation of non-operative treatment for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the left femur shaft.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "spiral."
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture's nonunion, not the initial treatment.
