Unsp trochan fx right femur, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code indicates a right femur fracture involving the trochanteric region, where the specific type of trochanteric fracture is not documented. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this fracture, which has healed improperly (malunion) and was initially a closed fracture.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for complications arising from a previously sustained, non-specific trochanteric fracture of the right femur that has healed in a misaligned position. This would include scenarios such as evaluation for corrective surgery or ongoing management of pain and functional limitations due to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" for a closed fracture.
• Verify laterality (right femur) is explicitly documented.
• Do not use if the specific type of trochanteric fracture (e.g., intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric) is known.
