Disp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thP

This code describes a right femur fracture specifically involving the greater trochanter, which has healed improperly (malunion). The fracture was initially closed, meaning the skin remained intact, and the patient is now in a later phase of care for this complication.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a malunion of a previously sustained, closed, displaced fracture of the right greater trochanter. This would apply during rehabilitation, ongoing management of the malunion, or planning for corrective surgery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" femur and "greater trochanter."
• Verify the fracture was initially "closed" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented as the current complication.
• The "P" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with malunion.
