Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thC

This code signifies a break in the lesser trochanter of the right femur where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture is an open type, meaning there is a wound extending from the skin surface to the bone, and it is classified as a severe open fracture (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with a nondisplaced fracture of the right femoral lesser trochanter that is openly exposed to the environment. This specifically applies to severe open fractures (Gustilo-Anderson types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) requiring initial surgical debridement and stabilization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "right" femur.
• Verify the Gustilo-Anderson classification (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) for the open fracture type is explicitly stated in the medical record.
• Confirm this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
