Unsp trochan fx r femr, 7thJ

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained an unspecified fracture of the trochanteric region of their right femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is currently experiencing delayed healing.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment or monitoring for a right trochanteric open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that is not healing at the expected rate. This includes appointments for wound care, hardware checks, or assessment of bone healing progress when delayed union is identified.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the open trochanteric fracture.
• Verify the fracture is of the right femur and the initial injury was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
