Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of unsp femr, 7thH

This code describes a fracture of the greater trochanter of the femur that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture (where the skin is broken) classified as Type I or II, and the patient is in a subsequent encounter for ongoing management due to delayed healing of the fracture.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open Type I or II greater trochanteric fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected. This applies to situations where the physician is monitoring the fracture's progress, adjusting treatment, or managing complications related to the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "greater trochanter."
• Verify the fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" at the initial injury.
• Confirm the encounter is for "delayed healing" and not routine follow-up for a healing fracture.
