Nondisp subtrochnt fx unsp femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the femur located below the lesser trochanter, which has not shifted from its original position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the bone is healing slower than expected without surgical intervention.

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a subtrochanteric femur fracture where the initial treatment was non-surgical (closed reduction or conservative management). This specifically applies when imaging or clinical assessment indicates the fracture is taking longer than anticipated to unite.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "subtrochanteric" for accurate code selection.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and that delayed healing is explicitly documented.
• Confirm that the fracture was managed non-surgically (closed fracture) to differentiate from open fracture care.
