Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thG

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the lesser trochanter of the right femur that is not healing as expected. The fracture is still being managed without surgical intervention, but the healing process is prolonged.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced lesser trochanteric fracture of the right femur. This is appropriate when documentation indicates delayed healing of the closed fracture, such as persistent pain, swelling, or radiographic evidence of incomplete union beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the lesser trochanter and on the right side.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
