Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thE

This code describes a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that has not shifted from its normal position. It specifically indicates that this is not the initial treatment, but rather a follow-up encounter for an open fracture (where the skin was broken) that is now healing as expected.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient with a previously diagnosed right lesser trochanter fracture that was initially an open fracture type I or II. This is appropriate when the fracture is stable, nondisplaced, and showing routine progression towards healing. Use for follow-up visits, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur" for accurate code selection.
• Confirm the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that this is a "subsequent encounter."
• Verify "routine healing" is noted; if healing is delayed or complicated, a different seventh character would be required.
