Displ subtrochnt fx r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the femur located just below the lesser trochanter on the right side. It specifically indicates that the fracture was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and is currently in a routine healing phase during a subsequent patient encounter.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for the healing of a previously treated open subtrochanteric fracture of the right femur. It applies when the fracture is progressing as expected without complications, and the initial injury was an open Type I or II fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for this specific fracture type.
• Verify the fracture is indeed subtrochanteric and on the right side.
• Confirm the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type I or II.
