Nondisp seg fx shaft of r femur, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code describes a situation where a patient has a right femur shaft fracture that is broken into multiple pieces (segmental) but the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position (nondisplaced). This specific code is used during follow-up care for this fracture, where the bone has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion, and the fracture was initially treated without surgery (closed).

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or other ongoing care related to a previously treated nondisplaced segmental fracture of the right femoral shaft that has healed with a malunion. This applies when the initial treatment for the fracture did not involve an open surgical procedure.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right femur shaft.
• Verify the fracture was initially treated as a "closed fracture" (non-surgical intervention).
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
