Nondisp subtrochnt fx unsp femr, 7thF

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a subtrochanteric fracture of the femur, which was initially an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and is now healing routinely without displacement. The fracture location is specifically below the lesser trochanter but above the femoral shaft.

Use this code for subsequent visits where the patient is receiving routine follow-up care for a previously treated open subtrochanteric femur fracture that is healing as expected. This applies when the fracture is nondisplaced and the initial injury involved significant soft tissue damage or contamination.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Verify the original fracture was classified as an open fracture Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm the fracture is nondisplaced at the time of this encounter.
