ICD-10-CMDisplaced subtrochanteric fracture of right femur, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
This code describes a fracture located in the subtrochanteric region of the right femur, meaning below the lesser trochanter but above the femoral shaft. The fracture fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment (displaced), and the patient is currently in a phase of routine healing following initial treatment, with the fracture site not surgically exposed.
Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced subtrochanteric fracture of the right femur is progressing as expected. This applies when the fracture is being managed non-surgically or after surgical fixation, and the wound is closed, indicating routine healing without complications.
