Displ midcervical fx r femur, init for opn fx type 3A/B/C

This code describes a fracture located in the middle portion of the right femur's neck that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, and is classified as a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the midcervical region of the right femur that has an associated open wound. This code is appropriate when the documentation clearly specifies the Gustilo-Anderson classification as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is receiving initial active treatment for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "midcervical" for the right femur.
• Verify the Gustilo-Anderson classification (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is clearly stated for the open fracture.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
