Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thK

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient with a right femur fracture specifically affecting the greater trochanter, where the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced greater trochanteric fracture of the right femur that has not healed. This includes situations where the nonunion is being monitored, or further interventions are being planned or performed to address the persistent lack of healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "greater trochanter" for the right femur.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care of a closed fracture with documented nonunion.
• Verify the "K" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter with nonunion.
