Disp fx of greater trochanter of right femur, init

This code signifies a break in the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the right thigh bone (femur), specifically the greater trochanter, where the fractured fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This injury is being addressed for the first time, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-surgical (closed) fracture of the right greater trochanter that shows displacement on imaging. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment phase of the injury.

• Verify laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (greater trochanter) are documented.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly described as "displaced" and "closed."
• Ensure this is the first encounter for treatment of this specific fracture. Subsequent encounters will require a different 7th character.
