Disp fx of greater trochanter of l femr, 7thP

This code signifies a left femur fracture specifically affecting the greater trochanter, which has become displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture, though closed, has healed improperly with malunion.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed and treated displaced closed fracture of the left greater trochanter that has resulted in malunion. This code is appropriate when the malunion is the primary focus of the encounter, such as for evaluation of healing progress or planning for corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" femur and "greater trochanter."
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture is "closed" with confirmed "malunion."
• Do not use for initial treatment or for nonunion, which is a distinct complication.
