Displaced midcervical fracture of right femur, init

This code signifies a break in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This type of fracture is typically caused by significant trauma and can compromise blood supply to the femoral head.

Apply this code for a patient presenting for the initial treatment of a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the midcervical region of the right femur. This includes emergency department visits, initial hospital admissions, or the first outpatient encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "midcervical" to support this code.
• Verify the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for this fracture. Subsequent care will require a different encounter character.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) as open fractures have distinct coding.
