Oth fx right femur, subs for opn fx type I/2 w delay heal

This code describes a fracture of the right femur, other than a shaft, neck, or intertrochanteric fracture, that was initially an open fracture of type I or II. The patient is currently in a phase of delayed healing, indicating that the fracture is not progressing to union at the expected rate.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open fracture (Type I or II) of the right femur (e.g., condylar, supracondylar, subtrochanteric) that is not healing within the typical timeframe. This applies to encounters where the focus is on managing the delayed union.

• Ensure the medical record clearly documents "delayed healing" for the specified open fracture type.
• Verify the fracture location is "other" than the neck, shaft, or intertrochanteric region of the right femur.
• Confirm the initial fracture was an open fracture type I or II.
