S72.051E
ICD-10-CMUnspecified fracture of head of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up encounter for an open fracture of the femoral head on the right side, specifically an open fracture type I or II, which is currently healing routinely. The initial injury involved a break in the upper part of the right thigh bone, near the hip joint, with a break in the skin.
Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed open femoral head fracture (Type I or II) of the right femur, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications. This would include routine follow-up appointments for cast checks, wound care, or physical therapy during the healing phase.
