Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of right femur, init

This code signifies a break in the prominent bony protrusion on the upper part of the right thigh bone (femur), specifically the greater trochanter. The bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and this code is used for the initial treatment phase of this injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right greater trochanter. This is appropriate when the patient is receiving initial active treatment for the fracture, such as casting, splinting, or surgical repair.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right" greater trochanter.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of the closed fracture.
• Distinguish from displaced fractures or fractures of other femoral regions.
