Nondisp transverse fx shaft of l femr, 7thB

This code describes a break across the shaft of the left thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. Importantly, the fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II open fracture).

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment encounter of a patient presenting with a left femoral shaft fracture that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and open. It is used when the open nature of the fracture is classified as either Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

• Verify laterality (left) and the specific bone section (shaft) are documented.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly stated as "nondisplaced" and "open type I or II."
• Ensure this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury. Subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
