ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of lesser trochanter of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code describes a break in the lesser trochanter, a small bony prominence on the upper part of the right thigh bone, where the fracture fragments have not significantly separated. It specifically indicates that the skin was broken, exposing the bone, and the injury is classified as an open fracture type I or II, meaning the wound is relatively small and clean.
Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the right femoral lesser trochanter, where the open wound is classified as Gustilo type I or II. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of the injury, such as emergency room visits or initial hospitalization.
