Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thH

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture of the lesser trochanter on their left femur that is not out of alignment. This specific encounter is for ongoing treatment of an open fracture (Type I or II) that is healing slower than expected.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lesser trochanter fracture of the left femur, and the initial injury was an open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II) that is now exhibiting delayed healing. This applies when the fracture site is still open or was initially open and is now complicated by slow healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur" for the lesser trochanter fracture.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter code would be used for the first treatment.
