s/p surgical reduction and internal fixation of r hip fx nonunion, removal of broken hardware and revision of fixation with cephaolmeullary nail.

Would I still code the complication code of the broken hardware T84.010D Along with the fracture?

Thanks!!

although they did an ORIF its still nonunion? I thought if I didn't code the complication with "D" I would have to code the FX with "D"
