Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thB

This code signifies a break in the prominent bony projection on the upper outer part of the right thigh bone (femur), specifically the greater trochanter. The fracture fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment (nondisplaced), and the injury involves a break in the skin (open fracture) classified as Type I or II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with an acute, newly diagnosed nondisplaced fracture of the right femoral greater trochanter that has an associated open wound of Gustilo Type I or II. This applies to the first encounter where the patient receives active treatment for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "greater trochanter" of the right femur.
• Confirm the open fracture type (Gustilo Type I or II) is documented to support the "B" seventh character.
• This code is only for the initial encounter; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
