Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser trochanter on the left femur that has not shifted from its original position. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of care, and the closed fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments related to a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lesser trochanter fracture of the left femur. This applies when the fracture is closed and is progressing through a normal healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur" for accurate code selection.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed healing.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed closed; open fractures would require a different seventh character.
