Displaced midcervical fx r femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture located in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific injury involves an open wound, classified as either Type I or Type II, indicating a break in the skin that communicates with the fracture site.

This code is appropriate for the initial encounter when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur that is also an open fracture of Type I or II. This includes situations such as a fall or trauma resulting in a visible wound over the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "midcervical" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific injury, as subsequent encounters will use different codes.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) is documented; if not specified, query the provider.
