Nondisp midcervical fx unsp femr, 7thC

This code describes a fracture in the middle section of the femur's neck (midcervical) that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture is an open fracture, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, and is classified as a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This code is used for the initial treatment of such an injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting for the first time with a non-displaced midcervical femoral fracture that has an associated open wound exposing the bone. This applies when the open fracture is documented as Gustilo-Anderson type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This code is appropriate for the initial surgical repair or management of this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" for the femoral neck fracture.
• Verify the Gustilo-Anderson classification (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) for the open fracture component.
• Confirm this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury. Subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
