Nondisp fx of less trochanter of l femr, 7thR

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the lesser trochanter of the left femur that was initially an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) but has since healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion. The current encounter is for ongoing management or complications related to this malunited fracture.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient presents with complications or requires further treatment for a malunited lesser trochanter fracture of the left femur, specifically when the original injury was an open fracture of a severe type. This applies when the fracture itself is no longer acute but the healing has been imperfect.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the left femur's lesser trochanter.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
