Nondisp seg fx shaft of r femr, 7thM

This code describes a situation where a patient has a non-displaced fracture in the middle section of their right thigh bone, which was initially an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken). The fracture is now in a subsequent phase of treatment, but it has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for patients with a right femoral shaft fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and is now complicated by nonunion. It would be used when the patient is receiving ongoing care for this specific unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "shaft" for anatomical accuracy.
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "nonunion" is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
