S72.091B
ICD-10-CMOther fracture of head and neck of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a fracture affecting the head or neck of the right femur, which is not further specified as displaced or nondisplaced, and is classified as an open fracture of type I or II. This indicates the fracture has broken through the skin, but with minimal to moderate soft tissue damage and contamination.
This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with an open fracture of the right femoral head or neck, where the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I) or has moderate skin and muscle contusion with a larger wound (Type II). It is used when the specific displacement of the fracture is not documented.
