Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thP

This code describes a situation where a patient has a non-displaced break in the lesser trochanter of their right femur. The fracture is currently in a healing phase, but it is not aligning correctly, indicating a malunion. This is a follow-up encounter for the ongoing management of this closed fracture.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a follow-up visit related to a previously diagnosed non-displaced lesser trochanter fracture of the right femur. The physician's documentation must explicitly state that the fracture is closed and is healing with malunion. This code is appropriate when the patient is receiving continued care for this specific complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right femur" and "lesser trochanter."
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent care" and the fracture is "closed" with "malunion."
• Do not use for initial treatment or if the fracture is displaced or open.
