Disp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thF

This code signifies a fracture of the greater trochanter on the right femur that is no longer in its anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the fracture was an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is now in a subsequent phase of care where routine healing is expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for patients previously diagnosed with an open, displaced right greater trochanteric fracture (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). It should be used when the patient is progressing well through the healing process without complications requiring more intensive intervention.

• Ensure documentation specifies an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and displacement of the greater trochanter.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm that the physician's notes indicate routine healing is occurring.
