Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thM

This code describes a situation where the lesser trochanter of the left femur, a bony prominence below the femoral neck, has a fracture that is not displaced. This specific code is used when the fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) of either Type I or Type II, and the bone is now failing to heal properly (nonunion) during a follow-up visit.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously sustained open fracture of the left femoral lesser trochanter, where imaging or clinical assessment confirms the fracture fragments are still aligned (nondisplaced) but show no signs of healing. This would apply during subsequent visits after the initial treatment, when the nonunion is being addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur, lesser trochanter."
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "nonunion" is explicitly stated or clearly implied by the clinical context.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
