Nondisp subtrochnt fx r femr, 7thQ

This code describes a situation where a patient has a subtrochanteric fracture of the right femur that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This specific code is used during a subsequent visit for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as Type I or Type II, and the fracture is healing incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose initial injury was an open subtrochanteric fracture of the right femur (Type I or II), and during the current encounter, the physician identifies and addresses a malunion. This applies to situations where the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for the fracture's healing complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right femur" and "subtrochanteric" location.
• Verify that the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
