Disp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thK

This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur, which was initially displaced. The patient is currently receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which has failed to unite.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a right lesser trochanteric fracture that has not healed after initial treatment. This applies when the fracture was originally displaced and the current encounter addresses the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right femur's lesser trochanter.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed displaced.
• This "K" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with nonunion.
