Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thJ

This code describes a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the right femur that is not displaced. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) where the healing process is delayed.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lesser trochanter fracture of the right femur, initially an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, is experiencing delayed healing. This applies when the patient is still under active treatment for the fracture's delayed union or nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur."
• Verify that the original fracture was classified as an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm that the encounter is for delayed healing, not routine follow-up for a healing fracture or initial treatment.
