Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thM

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the lesser trochanter of the right femur that has failed to heal properly. It specifically applies when the initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this nonunion.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a right lesser trochanteric nonunion, where the original fracture was open and classified as Type I or II. It would be used during subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the acute fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the initial open fracture type (I or II).
• Verify the fracture is indeed non-displaced and located on the right lesser trochanter.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
