Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the greater trochanter on the right femur that has not shifted from its normal position. It specifically indicates that the fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin) of either Type I or Type II severity, and the patient is now in a subsequent phase of care where the healing process is proceeding as expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right greater trochanter. It should be used when the fracture is healing routinely, and the patient is not experiencing complications or delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur, greater trochanter."
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that the current encounter is for "subsequent care with routine healing."
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing.
