Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the left femur that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for an initial open fracture of type I or II, and the healing process is progressing routinely without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for subsequent treatment of a previously diagnosed open lesser trochanter fracture of the left femur (Gustilo-Anderson type I or II) that is now stable and healing as expected. This would include follow-up appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur" for the lesser trochanter fracture.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that the current encounter is for "routine healing."
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, nonunion, malunion, or delayed healing.
