Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of unsp femr, 7thM

This code describes a situation where a patient has a non-displaced fracture of the greater trochanter of an unspecified femur, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This particular encounter is for ongoing treatment of an open fracture (where the skin was broken) classified as type I or II, and the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion).

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits or hospital admissions for patients with a previously diagnosed open greater trochanteric fracture (type I or II) that is not healing as expected. It indicates that the patient is receiving continued care for the nonunion of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the fracture type (open type I or II).
• Verify that the fracture is indeed of the greater trochanter and is nondisplaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
