Disp fx of base of nk of unsp femr, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture, meaning the skin and soft tissues have been compromised, and is classified as either Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting for the first time with a displaced fracture at the base of the femoral neck that has broken through the skin. This applies when the open fracture is documented as Gustilo-Anderson Type I (clean wound less than 1 cm) or Type II (wound greater than 1 cm without extensive soft tissue damage).

• Always confirm the fracture's displacement and the specific location at the base of the femoral neck.
• Verify the open fracture type (Gustilo-Anderson I or II) and that this is the initial treatment encounter.
• Do not use this code for closed fractures, non-displaced fractures, or open fractures of Type III.
