Fx unsp part of neck of left femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture located in an unspecified part of the neck of the left femur, where the bone has broken through the skin or there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, classified as an open fracture type I or II. This indicates the initial treatment encounter for such an injury.

Apply this code when documenting the first visit for a patient presenting with an open fracture of the left femoral neck, where the specific location within the neck is not further specified (e.g., subcapital, transcervical). This is appropriate for initial surgical repair, casting, or other definitive treatment of the acute injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" femur and "open fracture type I or II" for accurate code assignment.
• Do not use this code for subsequent encounters or for closed fractures of the femoral neck.
• Confirm that the fracture site within the femoral neck is truly unspecified; if a more specific location (e.g., subcapital) is documented, a more precise code should be selected.
