Disp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thR

This code describes a malunion of a displaced fracture involving the greater trochanter of the right femur. It specifically indicates that the original injury was an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care for this complication.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care of a previously treated open fracture (type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) of the right greater trochanter, where the fracture fragments have healed in a misaligned or unsatisfactory position. This applies to situations where the malunion is being addressed or monitored.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for the fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture of the specified Gustilo-Anderson types (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).
• Confirm the fracture location is the greater trochanter of the right femur.
