Nondisp fx of lesser trochanter of unsp femur, init

This code signifies a break in the lesser trochanter, a small bony prominence on the upper inner part of the femur, without any displacement of the bone fragments. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site, and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the lesser trochanter of an unspecified femur. This is appropriate for initial encounters where the fracture is managed conservatively or surgically, and there is no open wound communicating with the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture."
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture.
• If the laterality (left or right) of the femur is known, a more specific code should be used.
