Displaced spiral fracture of shaft of right femur, init

This code signifies a fracture of the main part (shaft) of the right thigh bone that has a spiral pattern, indicating a twisting injury. The bone fragments are not in their normal alignment (displaced), and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific injury, which has not broken through the skin (closed).

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, non-surgical, or initial surgical encounter for a spiral fracture of the right femoral shaft where the bone ends are misaligned. This is appropriate for initial evaluation, stabilization, and treatment planning for this specific injury.

• Confirm "displaced" and "spiral" documentation for the right femoral shaft.
• Ensure "initial encounter" is appropriate; subsequent care would use a different seventh character.
• Verify the fracture is closed; open fractures have distinct codes.
