S72.046B
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of base of neck of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This diagnosis code identifies a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck that has not shifted from its anatomical position. It specifically applies when the skin overlying the fracture is broken, but the wound is relatively clean and small, indicating a low-energy injury.
Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a non-displaced open fracture of the femoral neck base, where the open wound is classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This is appropriate for the first encounter for definitive care of the injury.
