S72.122F
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of lesser trochanter of left femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
This code signifies a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the left femur that is no longer in its anatomical position. It specifically indicates an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, meaning there's significant soft tissue damage and potential contamination. The "subsequent encounter" aspect denotes that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury, which is currently healing routinely.
Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a displaced open lesser trochanteric fracture of the left femur (Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that is progressing as expected. This includes scenarios like cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the healing phase. Do not use for initial treatment or if complications arise.
