Nondisp 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 (femur), specifically the greater trochanter, that is not displaced. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing as expected, remaining closed (skin intact).

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced greater trochanter fracture of the left femur is being monitored for delayed healing. This includes situations where imaging shows persistent fracture lines or clinical signs indicate a slower-than-anticipated recovery in a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" femur and "greater trochanter."
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted.
• Confirm the fracture was initially "closed" and remains so.
