Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thP

This code signifies a left lesser trochanteric fracture that was initially nondisplaced but has subsequently healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion. The fracture is currently being managed as a closed injury, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lesser trochanter fracture of the left femur that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. It specifically applies when the fracture is closed and the malunion is the focus of the current encounter.

• Verify documentation explicitly states "malunion" and specifies the left femur's lesser trochanter.
• Ensure the encounter is for a "subsequent" phase of care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is documented as "closed" to differentiate from open fractures.
