Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thG

This code describes a left femur fracture involving the lesser trochanter that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The "G" seventh character indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture that is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced, closed fracture of the left femoral lesser trochanter, and the healing process is taking longer than expected. This applies when the fracture site has not yet fully united.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" femur and "lesser trochanter."
• The "G" seventh character is crucial for indicating delayed healing in a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed non-displaced and closed; different codes apply for displaced or open fractures.
