Disp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a right femoral greater trochanter fracture that is displaced and was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The patient is currently in a subsequent encounter for this injury, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open, displaced right greater trochanter fracture who is experiencing a slower-than-expected healing process. This applies to encounters where the focus is on managing the delayed union of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" of the greater trochanter.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
