Nondisp intertroch fx unsp femr, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code describes a situation where a patient is being treated for a previously sustained intertrochanteric fracture of the femur that was not displaced at the time of injury. The fracture, which affects the area between the greater and lesser trochanters, has healed in an imperfect or misaligned position (malunion), and the current encounter is for ongoing management of this closed fracture.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose intertrochanteric femur fracture, initially treated non-surgically or without open reduction, has resulted in a malunion. This includes scenarios where the patient is presenting for evaluation of pain, functional limitations, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion, after the initial fracture treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and that the fracture was "nondisplaced" and "closed" initially.
• Verify that the encounter is indeed "subsequent" and not for initial treatment of the fracture.
• This code requires a seventh character to indicate the type of encounter; "P" signifies subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion.
