Nondisp fx of base of nk of l femr, init for opn fx type I/2

This code describes a fracture at the base of the femoral neck on the left side where the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. It specifically indicates that this is the initial treatment for an open fracture, meaning the skin was broken, and the wound is classified as Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

This code is appropriate for the initial encounter when a patient presents with a left femoral neck fracture that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and open, with the open wound classified as Type I or Type II. This would typically be used for the acute phase of treatment, including surgical repair or initial stabilization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur" for accurate laterality and displacement.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as an "open fracture" and the Gustilo-Anderson classification is Type I or Type II.
• This "B" encounter code is only for the initial treatment of the fracture; subsequent care would require a different encounter character.
