Nondisp fx of less trochanter of unsp femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the lesser trochanter of the femur that is not displaced and is healing routinely. The specific femur (left or right) is not documented. This indicates the patient is in the recovery phase, and the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced lesser trochanteric fracture. It should be used when the fracture is closed and is healing without issues, such as delayed union or nonunion. This code would be assigned after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed nondisplaced and that the specific femur is not identified in the medical record.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or if complications like delayed healing or malunion are present.
