Displaced apophyseal fracture of left femur, init

This code signifies a fracture occurring at the apophysis, a normal growth plate or secondary ossification center, of the left femur. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced apophyseal fracture of the left femur. This would include scenarios such as an adolescent athlete sustaining a growth plate injury to the distal femur during sports.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left femur" for accurate code assignment.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed apophyseal and not a different type of femoral fracture.
