Nondisplaced intertroch fracture of right femur, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture located between the greater and lesser trochanters of the right femur. It indicates that the fracture fragments were in their normal anatomical alignment at the time of injury and that the patient is now experiencing long-term effects or complications related to this past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing issues such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or hardware complications directly attributable to a previously sustained nondisplaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur. This code is appropriate for encounters occurring after the initial healing phase of the fracture.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current sequela to the historical nondisplaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur.
• Do not use this code for acute or subacute fracture care; it is exclusively for long-term effects.
• Consider additional codes for specific sequelae (e.g., M25.551 for chronic right hip pain) to provide a complete clinical picture.
