Displ intertroch fx l femur, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture located between the greater and lesser trochanters of the left femur, which has been treated without surgical intervention and is currently healing as expected. The displacement indicates that the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment at the time of injury.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the left femur. This includes scenarios where the patient is receiving routine post-fracture management, such as cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor healing progress, and the fracture is progressing normally.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "left femur" and "intertrochanteric" to support this specific anatomical site.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Verify the fracture was treated as a "closed fracture" (no open wound communicating with the fracture site).
