Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thB

This code describes a break in the lesser trochanter, a small bony prominence on the upper part of the right thigh bone, where the fracture fragments have not significantly separated. It specifically indicates that the skin was broken, exposing the bone, and the injury is classified as an open fracture type I or II, meaning the wound is relatively small and clean.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the right femoral lesser trochanter, where the open wound is classified as Gustilo type I or II. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of the injury, such as emergency room visits or initial hospitalization.

• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the lesser trochanter, not the greater trochanter or intertrochanteric region.
• Verify documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies "right" femur.
• Ensure the open fracture is explicitly documented as Gustilo Type I or II and that this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury.
