Disp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thF

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser trochanter of the right femur that is displaced from its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the fracture is an open fracture, classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is currently in a subsequent phase of care with expected routine healing.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment for a previously diagnosed displaced open fracture of the right femoral lesser trochanter. It applies when the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the initial injury was a severe open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC).

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "lesser trochanter" of the right femur.
• Verify the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is clearly documented from the initial injury.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
