Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thB

This code signifies a break in the lesser trochanter of the left femur that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is classified as an open fracture of either Type I or Type II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and this is the initial treatment encounter.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the left femoral lesser trochanter. This is appropriate for the initial surgical or non-surgical management of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left" femur.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "open type I" or "open type II."
• This code is only for the initial encounter; subsequent care requires a different seventh character.
