Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a right femur fracture specifically involving the greater trochanter, which has not shifted from its anatomical position. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the healing process is progressing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right greater trochanter presents for ongoing care due to delayed healing. This includes visits for wound care, monitoring of bone healing, or adjustments to the treatment plan during the extended recovery period.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur, greater trochanter."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted.
• This is a subsequent encounter code; an initial encounter code would have been used for the acute injury.
