Unsp trochan fx l femr, 7thE

This code describes a follow-up encounter for an unspecified fracture of the trochanteric region of the left femur, which was initially an open fracture classified as Type I or II. At the time of this encounter, the fracture is healing routinely without complications.

Use this code when a patient presents for routine follow-up care of a previously diagnosed open trochanteric fracture of the left femur (Type I or II) that is progressing as expected. This typically applies during the active treatment phase after initial intervention, but before full healing is achieved.

• Ensure the documentation specifies an "open" fracture initially, and that it was Type I or II.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that healing is described as "routine."
• Laterality (left femur) is crucial; do not use for right or unspecified side.
