Disp fx of greater trochanter of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a left femur fracture specifically involving the greater trochanter, which has been displaced from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for subsequent visits when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a displaced closed fracture of the left greater trochanter and the physician documents routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or medication management during the healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" femur and "greater trochanter" to differentiate from other femoral fracture sites.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters for delayed/nonunion.
• Confirm the fracture is documented as "closed" (skin intact) and "displaced" for accurate code selection.
