Nondisp apophyseal fx right femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code describes a fracture involving the apophysis of the right femur that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The apophysis is a natural outgrowth of bone, often serving as an attachment point for tendons. This specific injury is an open fracture, meaning the skin and soft tissue have been broken, and is classified as type I or II based on the Gustilo-Anderson classification system for open fractures.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right femoral apophysis where the bone has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I) or moderate with some soft tissue damage (Type II). This code is appropriate for the initial treatment encounter for such an injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "right femur" and "apophyseal" involvement.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) is explicitly stated or clearly inferable from the wound description in the medical record.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters for follow-up care or healing would require a different seventh character.
