S72.001A
ICD-10-CMFracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
This diagnosis code indicates a break in the upper portion of the right thigh bone, specifically within the neck region, without further specification of the exact location within the neck. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin over the injury remains intact, and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific injury.
Apply this code when documentation confirms a right femoral neck fracture where the precise anatomical location (e.g., subcapital, transcervical, basicervical) is not specified by the provider. This is appropriate for initial treatment encounters of a closed fracture.
