Nondisp subtrochnt fx unsp femr, 7thH

This code describes a subtrochanteric fracture of the femur that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. It specifically indicates an open fracture (Type I or II) that is experiencing delayed healing during a subsequent encounter.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced subtrochanteric open femoral fracture (Type I or II) where the healing process is taking longer than expected. This applies when the initial treatment has already been rendered and the patient is still under active management for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "subtrochanteric" for the femur fracture.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) and that "delayed healing" is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment phase.
