Nondisp fx of less trochanter of r femr, 7thK

This code describes a situation where a patient has a non-displaced fracture of the lesser trochanter on their right femur, and they are presenting for follow-up care. Crucially, the fracture has not healed as expected, indicating a nonunion.

This code is used when a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced right lesser trochanter fracture is seen for ongoing management of the fracture, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the bone fragments have failed to unite. This would apply to office visits, hospital encounters, or other healthcare settings where the nonunion is being addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the closed fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (lesser trochanter).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
