Disp fx of greater trochanter of l femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the prominent bony projection on the upper part of the left thigh bone, which is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The fracture is not open to the external environment, and the bone healing process is taking longer than typically expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed displaced closed fracture of the left greater trochanter, and the physician notes that the healing is progressing slowly. It would be used after the initial treatment phase, but before complete union has occurred.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left) and the specific anatomical site (greater trochanter) are clearly documented.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment or a sequela.
