Nondisplaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, init

This code signifies a break in the upper part of the right thigh bone, specifically between the greater and lesser trochanters, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that the fracture has not shifted out of place.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur. It is used when the fracture is being managed without an open surgical incision, such as through casting or closed reduction.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "right femur" and "intertrochanteric" location.
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for active treatment of the closed fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed closed; open fractures require a different seventh character.
