Nondisp commnt fx shaft of r femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code describes a fracture of the main part of the right thigh bone that has broken into multiple pieces but where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates an open fracture where the skin has been broken, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II).

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a comminuted fracture of the shaft of the right femur that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and is classified as an open fracture Type I or II. This would typically be used in an emergency department or acute care setting for the initial evaluation and management.

• Confirm the fracture is of the shaft of the femur, not the neck, trochanteric, or supracondylar regions.
• Verify documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "comminuted."
• Ensure the open fracture is classified as Type I or II according to Gustilo-Anderson classification; otherwise, a different open fracture type code is needed.
