Disp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thP

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position (malunion). The fracture was initially a closed injury, meaning the skin remained intact, and the current encounter is for follow-up care related to this malunion.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting for evaluation or management of a malunited fracture of the right femoral lesser trochanter, where the initial injury was closed. This would typically be used in rehabilitation settings, orthopedic follow-up clinics, or when assessing the long-term sequelae of such a fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "lesser trochanter" and "right femur."
• Verify the initial fracture was "closed" and that this is a "subsequent encounter" for the malunion.
• Do not use for nonunion; a different code would be appropriate for that complication.
