Nondisp fx of lesser trochanter of right femur, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a fracture of the lesser trochanter of the right femur that was initially nondisplaced. It indicates that the patient is experiencing ongoing issues or complications directly attributable to this past injury, rather than an acute fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's current symptoms, limitations, or complications that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced lesser trochanter fracture of the right femur. This includes scenarios like chronic pain, stiffness, or functional impairment directly linked to the old injury. Do not use this code for the initial treatment of the acute fracture.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced lesser trochanter fracture.
• Verify laterality (right femur) and the nondisplaced nature of the original fracture.
