Nondisp subtrochnt fx r femr, 7thJ

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a right femur fracture located below the lesser trochanter, which was initially an open fracture of severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). The key clinical aspect is that the fracture is currently nondisplaced and is experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing management of a patient with a previously treated severe open subtrochanteric femur fracture on the right side, where the fracture fragments are now aligned, but the bone union is progressing slower than expected. This would be used during subsequent visits for monitoring, wound care, or physical therapy related to the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture site and type.
• Verify the encounter is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the laterality is "right" and the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "subtrochanteric."
