Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of left femur, init

This code signifies a break in the prominent bony protrusion on the upper part of the left thigh bone, specifically the greater trochanter, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that the fracture is new and is being treated for the first time, and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left femoral greater trochanter. This is appropriate for the initial visit where definitive treatment, such as conservative management or surgical planning, is being initiated for a closed injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left" femur.
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial" one for this specific fracture, not a follow-up.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
