Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thF

This code describes a nondisplaced fracture of the lesser trochanter on the left femur that was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. The patient is currently in a subsequent encounter for this injury, and the fracture is healing routinely without complications.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed open lesser trochanteric fracture of the left femur, specifically when the initial injury was a severe open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). This code is appropriate when the healing process is progressing as expected.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "lesser trochanter" of the left femur.
• Verify the initial injury was an open fracture classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and healing is "routine" to accurately apply this code.
