Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of l femr, 7thN

This code describes a situation where a patient has a non-displaced break in the greater trochanter of their left femur, and this is not the initial treatment encounter. Specifically, it indicates that the original fracture was an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the bone has failed to heal properly (nonunion).

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed non-displaced greater trochanteric fracture of the left femur that was initially an open fracture (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and has subsequently developed nonunion. This applies to ongoing management, assessment of nonunion, or planning for further intervention for the non-healing fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur" for the greater trochanter fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was classified as an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm that the current encounter addresses the nonunion of this specific fracture, not the initial healing phase.
