Nondisp intertroch fx r femr, 7thF

This code describes a subsequent encounter for a patient with a right femur intertrochanteric fracture that is nondisplaced and was initially an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. At this encounter, the fracture is healing routinely, indicating expected progress without complications.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed and treated nondisplaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur, which was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This applies when the physician documents routine healing during the current visit.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur" for accurate laterality and displacement.
• Confirm the initial injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" and the current encounter is for "routine healing."
• This code is for subsequent encounters only; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
