Disp fx of base of nk of r femr, init for opn fx type 3A/B/C

This code signifies a break in the upper part of the right thigh bone, specifically at the base of its neck, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This fracture is further complicated by an open wound, indicating a severe injury where the bone may have pierced the skin or is exposed to the environment. The "IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" classification refers to the Gustilo-Anderson open fracture grading system, denoting significant soft tissue damage and contamination.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a displaced fracture of the base of the right femoral neck that has an associated open wound classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This code is specifically for the initial treatment encounter for this severe injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and the "base of the neck" for accurate anatomical site coding.
• Verify the Gustilo-Anderson open fracture classification (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is explicitly stated by the physician.
• Remember the "C" suffix indicates an initial encounter for an open fracture. Subsequent encounters will require different suffixes.
