Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of right femur, sequela

This code signifies a historical, healed fracture of the greater trochanter on the right femur that was initially nondisplaced. It indicates that the patient is currently experiencing a residual condition or complication directly attributable to this past injury, even though the fracture itself is no longer acute.

Use this code when documenting a patient's current symptoms, functional limitations, or other long-term effects stemming from a previously sustained and healed nondisplaced right greater trochanteric fracture. This applies when the fracture itself is no longer being treated, but its sequelae are.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., pain, malunion, nonunion, functional limitation).
• Ensure the medical record clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced right greater trochanteric fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or active treatment of the fracture itself; use the appropriate acute fracture code for that scenario.
