Nondisp fx of base of neck of left femur, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the base of the femoral neck, specifically on the left side, where the bone fragments remain in their anatomical alignment. It indicates that the fracture is being addressed for the first time and involves an intact skin barrier over the injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, stable fracture at the base of the left femoral neck that has not penetrated the skin. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase, such as during emergency department visits or initial hospitalization for definitive management.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify laterality (left femur) is clearly documented.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for the fracture, regardless of subsequent visits for the same injury.
