Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. It specifically applies to an open fracture (where the skin is broken) of Type I or II, indicating a relatively minor open wound, that is experiencing delayed healing.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lesser trochanteric fracture of the right femur, which was initially an open Type I or II fracture, is presenting for ongoing management due to delayed healing. It would be used when the fracture has not yet united within the expected timeframe.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur" for accurate code selection.
• Confirm the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is explicitly documented as "delayed."
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific fracture type would use a different code.
