Nondisp intertroch fx r femr, 7thH

This code describes a situation where a patient has a non-displaced fracture in the intertrochanteric region of their right femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the healing process is now delayed.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed non-displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is not healing as expected. This applies to situations where the fracture has not yet united and requires continued medical attention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific fracture type would use a different code.
