Disp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the left femur that is no longer in its anatomical position. It specifically indicates a follow-up visit for an open fracture (Type I or II) that is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting a subsequent encounter for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the left lesser trochanter. This is appropriate when the fracture is progressing through routine healing and no acute complications are being addressed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left femur" for the lesser trochanter fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and that the open fracture type (I or II) was previously established.
• Verify that the healing process is described as "routine" or uncomplicated.
