Disp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thB

This code signifies a break in the lesser trochanter, a small bony prominence on the upper inner part of the right thigh bone, where the fracture fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically applies when the skin and soft tissue are broken, exposing the bone, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II open fracture).

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right lesser trochanter fracture that is visibly displaced and has an associated open wound classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This would typically be documented following trauma such as a fall or direct impact.

• Confirm laterality (right) and the specific bone (lesser trochanter of femur).
• Verify documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "open fracture type I or II."
• The "B" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
