Disp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that is displaced and has not yet healed, but is being managed non-surgically. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed closed fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies a slower-than-expected bone union process.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient with a displaced, closed fracture of the right lesser trochanter is being monitored for healing, and the physician notes that the healing process is taking longer than anticipated. This applies to situations where the fracture is not open and is being treated conservatively (e.g., casting, bracing, rest).

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "closed" for the fracture type.
• Verify the encounter is for ongoing care of the fracture, not the initial treatment or a sequela.
• Confirm the physician explicitly documents "delayed healing" to support the 7th character 'G'.
