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

This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the right femur, excluding those specifically classified as shaft, neck, or intertrochanteric. The fracture was initially an open fracture of Type I or II, and the patient is currently receiving care for the persistent nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a right femoral fracture that has failed to unite, and the initial injury involved a moderate open wound. This is appropriate for follow-up visits, cast changes, or surgical interventions addressing the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the initial open fracture type (I or II).
• Verify the fracture location is "other" and not more specifically defined (e.g., shaft, neck).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the nonunion, not the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
