Disp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thJ

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. The patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care, specifically experiencing delayed healing of this complex injury.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) of the right femoral lesser trochanter, and the healing process is not progressing as expected. This includes follow-up visits, cast changes, or evaluations for non-union or malunion where delayed healing is the primary concern.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the original fracture was indeed an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the fracture is of the right lesser trochanter and is displaced.
