S72.121H
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of lesser trochanter of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code describes a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that is no longer in its anatomical position. It specifically applies when the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and the healing process is taking longer than expected.
Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving care for a right lesser trochanter fracture that was initially open and is now exhibiting delayed healing. This would include situations like continued wound care, monitoring for nonunion, or planning for revision surgery due to slow bone healing.
