Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thN

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that has failed to heal (nonunion). This specific instance involves an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is being addressed during a subsequent encounter after initial treatment.

Use this code when documenting ongoing management of a right lesser trochanteric nonunion, specifically when the initial injury was an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This applies to follow-up visits where the nonunion is the primary focus of care, such as for surgical planning, monitoring, or conservative management of the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture, type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, as this is a highly specific requirement.
• Confirm the fracture is non-displaced and located on the right lesser trochanter.
