Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thF

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a nondisplaced fracture of the lesser trochanter in their right femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, specifically classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the fracture is currently healing routinely.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for a patient whose right lesser trochanter open fracture (type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is progressing as expected. This includes routine follow-up appointments, cast changes, or wound care during the healing phase.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur" for the lesser trochanter fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and that healing is routine, not delayed or complicated.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use the appropriate initial encounter code for the acute injury.
