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

This code signifies a fracture of the shaft of the right femur that is broken in at least two places (segmental) but the bone fragments are still aligned (nondisplaced). It specifically indicates an initial encounter for a moderate open fracture where the skin is broken, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II).

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, right femoral shaft fracture that is both segmental and nondisplaced. This is appropriate when the fracture is open, but the wound characteristics meet the criteria for an open fracture Type I or II, and the patient is receiving initial active treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "segmental" for the femoral shaft fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial encounter" for active treatment of this specific injury.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) is clearly documented to support this specific code.
