ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of lesser trochanter of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a break in the lesser trochanter of the right femur that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. This type of fracture typically results from avulsion, where a piece of bone is pulled away by a strong muscle contraction, often the iliopsoas.
Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right femoral lesser trochanter. This is commonly seen in athletes or older adults following a fall or sudden, forceful hip flexion.
