Nondisplaced midcervical fracture of right femur, init

This code signifies a fracture located in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur, which is the bone connecting the femoral head to the shaft. The fracture fragments remain in their anatomical position without significant displacement.

This code is appropriate for the initial encounter when a patient presents with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur that has not broken through the skin (closed fracture). It would be used for the initial treatment, evaluation, and management of this specific injury.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the laterality is "right femur" and that it is the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Distinguish from displaced fractures (S72.035-) or other locations within the femoral neck (e.g., subcapital, basicervical).
