Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of l femr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the prominent bony protrusion on the upper part of the left thigh bone (femur) that has not shifted from its original position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture has failed to heal properly without surgical intervention.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced greater trochanteric fracture of the left femur is being treated for a documented nonunion, and the fracture was initially managed non-surgically (closed treatment). This includes situations where the patient is receiving ongoing conservative management or being evaluated for potential surgical intervention due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and "subsequent encounter."
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the greater trochanter and on the left side.
• Confirm the initial treatment was "closed" (non-surgical) to differentiate from subsequent encounters for open fractures or malunion.
