Nondisp midcervical fx right femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a break in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically applies to an open fracture, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, classified as either Type I (clean wound less than 1 cm) or Type II (wound 1-10 cm without extensive soft tissue damage). This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

Use this code when documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right femoral neck fracture that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and open, classified as either Gustilo-Anderson Type I or Type II. This applies to the acute phase of care, such as emergency department visits, initial surgical repair, or initial hospitalization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and the "midcervical" location of the fracture.
• Confirm the open nature of the fracture and its classification (Type I or II) is explicitly stated by the provider.
• This "B" encounter code is only for the initial treatment phase; subsequent care will require different encounter characters.
