Displ intertroch fx unsp femr, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture between the greater and lesser trochanters of the femur, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. At this stage, the fracture is closed (skin intact) and is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for subsequent visits when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced intertrochanteric femoral fracture is receiving routine follow-up care, such as cast checks, physical therapy, or imaging to monitor healing progress. The fracture must be closed and demonstrating routine healing.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify documentation confirms routine healing and absence of complications like delayed union or nonunion.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically intertrochanteric and displaced, and the femur is unspecified.
