Disp fx of greater trochanter of l femr, 7thB

This code describes a break in the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the left thigh bone (femur), specifically the greater trochanter. The fracture fragments are not in their normal alignment, and the skin and soft tissues surrounding the fracture are compromised, indicating an open fracture of either Type I or Type II severity. This code is used for the initial treatment phase of such an injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed displaced open fracture of the left greater trochanter, where the open nature is classified as Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This would be used for the initial surgical repair, reduction, or other definitive treatment during the acute phase of care.

• Confirm laterality (left femur) and the specific anatomical site (greater trochanter).
• Verify documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "open fracture type I or II."
• Ensure this is the initial encounter for the active treatment of the fracture.
