Torus fracture of lower end of right femur, init for clos fx

This code signifies a buckle fracture, or torus fracture, affecting the distal (lower) end of the right thigh bone. This type of fracture is characterized by a compression injury where the bone cortex buckles but does not completely break, often seen in pediatric patients.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a right distal femoral torus fracture that has not broken through the skin. This is commonly encountered in children who have sustained a fall or other low-energy trauma to the knee area.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "torus fracture" or "buckle fracture" of the distal femur.
• Verify laterality (right) and the encounter type (initial for closed fracture).
• Do not use for open fractures or subsequent encounters for this specific injury.
