Nondisp fx of greater trochanter of l femr, 7thF

This code describes a fracture of the prominent bony knob on the upper part of the left thigh bone (femur), specifically the greater trochanter, which has not shifted from its normal position. The fracture is an open type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, meaning there is a wound connecting the fracture to the outside, and it is currently in the routine healing phase during a follow-up visit.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture of the left femoral greater trochanter, where the open wound was classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the fracture is progressing through an expected healing course. This applies to subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is clearly documented from the initial injury.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and the fracture is healing routinely, not experiencing delayed or nonunion.
