Unsp fracture of right femur, subs for clos fx w nonunion

This code signifies a right femur fracture that has not healed properly (nonunion) and the specific type of fracture was not documented. The patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to this ongoing healing complication.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed, unspecified right femoral fracture is experiencing nonunion. This includes visits for continued management, evaluation of nonunion, or surgical intervention to address the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right femur.
• Only use for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the same fracture would use a different code.
• If the specific type of femoral fracture (e.g., intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric) is known, a more specific code should be utilized.
