Disp fx of less trochanter of unsp femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a fracture of the lesser trochanter, a bony prominence on the upper part of the femur. The fracture was displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment, and it is currently healing routinely without complications. The specific femur (left or right) is not documented.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced lesser trochanter fracture of an unspecified femur is undergoing routine follow-up care. This includes appointments for monitoring healing progress, cast changes, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing phase of a closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed of the lesser trochanter and was initially displaced.
• If the specific femur is known (left or right), a more specific code should be used.
