Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of unsp femr, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the greater trochanter, which is a bony prominence on the upper part of the femur. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and it was initially an open fracture (skin broken) of type I or II, now healing routinely.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced greater trochanteric fracture that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now progressing as expected without complications. This applies to situations like cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or routine follow-up appointments during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "greater trochanter" to differentiate from other femoral neck or shaft fractures.
• Confirm the initial fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "routine" to justify the "E" seventh character.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is displaced, malunion, nonunion, or has delayed healing.
