Disp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thK

This code signifies a right greater trochanteric fracture that is out of alignment and has failed to heal after initial treatment. The fracture is still closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site. The "nonunion" indicates that the bone ends have not grown together as expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced right greater trochanteric fracture who is experiencing delayed or failed bone healing. This would include situations where imaging confirms nonunion and the patient is undergoing further management, such as repeat casting, bracing, or surgical planning for revision.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Verify the fracture is of the greater trochanter and on the right side.
• Confirm the fracture is still closed; open fractures would require a different seventh character.
