Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of unsp femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a stable, non-displaced fracture of the greater trochanter of an unspecified femur. The fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the patient is receiving routine care during the healing phase. This indicates the acute phase of injury has passed, and the focus is on continued recovery.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced greater trochanteric fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This applies when the fracture is closed and there are no signs of delayed union, nonunion, or other complications. It is appropriate for follow-up appointments after initial treatment, such as cast removal or during physical therapy.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit and not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the greater trochanter and is nondisplaced.
• Confirm the documentation indicates routine healing for a closed fracture.
