Torus fx lower end of right femur, subs for fx w nonunion

This code describes a buckle fracture, also known as a torus fracture, affecting the lower portion of the right thigh bone. Specifically, it indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this fracture, and the bone has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed torus fracture of the distal right femur who is experiencing a nonunion. This would be used for encounters related to managing the ongoing nonunion, such as further imaging, consultations for surgical intervention, or conservative management attempts.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the torus fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture location is specifically the lower end of the right femur.
