Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of unsp femr, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the greater trochanter, a bony prominence on the upper part of the femur, that has not shifted from its original position. The encounter is for follow-up care of this closed fracture, specifically when the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a nondisplaced greater trochanteric fracture that was initially closed, and the physician notes delayed healing. This includes situations where the patient is still in a cast, brace, or undergoing physical therapy due to the prolonged healing time.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "greater trochanter" of the femur.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that "delayed healing" is explicitly documented.
• Verify the fracture was initially "closed" to use this specific code.
