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

This code signifies a break in the upper part of the right thigh bone, specifically between the two bony prominences (trochanters), where the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. It also 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 for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right intertrochanteric femur fracture that has not shifted from its original position and involves a low-energy open wound. This is typically seen in trauma cases where the skin integrity is compromised at the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur" for accurate coding.
• Confirm the "open fracture type I or II" and that this is the "initial encounter" for treatment.
• Do not use this code for displaced fractures, closed fractures, or subsequent encounters for care.
