Displaced intertroch fx left femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture of the left femur occurring between the greater and lesser trochanters, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II open fracture).

Apply this code when documenting an initial encounter for a patient presenting with an intertrochanteric fracture of the left femur that is visibly displaced and classified as an open fracture of Type I or Type II. This code is appropriate for the acute phase of injury and initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" femur and "displaced" to support code selection.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) is explicitly stated or can be inferred from the wound description.
• This code is for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
