Disp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that is no longer in its anatomical position. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, which is currently healing without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed and treated displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right femoral lesser trochanter. This is appropriate when the fracture is progressing through routine healing and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right femur" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care of an open fracture, not a closed one.
• Confirm "routine healing" is documented; otherwise, a different subsequent encounter code may be necessary.
