ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of base of neck of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a break in the upper part of the right thigh bone, specifically at the base of the femoral neck, which has not shifted out of alignment. The fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, but the bone damage is relatively minimal. This code is used for the initial treatment of such an injury.
Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture at the base of the right femoral neck, where the skin is broken and the wound is classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This is appropriate for the initial surgical or non-surgical management of the injury.
