ICD-10-CMFracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
This code signifies a fracture affecting an unspecified portion of the neck of the right femur. It specifically indicates an open fracture, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, and is classified as a severe open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification system. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this injury.
Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, traumatic open fracture of the right femoral neck where the specific location within the neck is not documented. This is appropriate when the fracture is clearly identified as a Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is receiving initial active treatment for the injury.
