Nondisp oblique fx shaft of r femr, 7thC

This code signifies a break in the main shaft of the right thigh bone that runs diagonally, but the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. Importantly, the fracture is open, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, and is classified as a severe open fracture (Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). This is the first time the patient is being treated for this specific injury.

Apply this code for initial encounters involving a patient presenting with a right femoral shaft fracture that is both nondisplaced and oblique, and where the injury is documented as an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This code is appropriate for the acute phase of treatment, including initial surgical repair or stabilization.

• Confirm documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "oblique" for the right femoral shaft.
• Verify the Gustilo-Anderson classification of the open fracture is Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Ensure this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture; subsequent care will require a different encounter character.
