Disp fx of less trochanter of unsp femr, 7thG

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the lesser trochanter, located on the upper part of the femur, where the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment. The patient is in the healing phase following initial treatment, and the fracture is not progressing to union at the expected rate, but the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for a lesser trochanter fracture that was initially displaced and is now demonstrating delayed healing. It should be used when the fracture has been treated non-surgically or surgically, but the wound is closed, and the patient is still under active management for the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "delayed healing" for the lesser trochanter fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
