Disp fx of base of neck of right femur, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the upper part of the right thigh bone, specifically at the base of the femoral neck, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This type of fracture is typically caused by significant trauma and can severely impair mobility.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture at the base of the right femoral neck. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "base of neck" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not subsequent care or sequelae.
• Verify the fracture is closed; open fractures require different coding.
