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

This code represents a fracture occurring at the base of the femoral neck, where the bone is completely separated or significantly misaligned. It specifically refers to an injury of an unspecified femur, meaning the laterality (left or right) is not yet determined or documented. This type of fracture often results from high-impact trauma or falls in individuals with osteoporotic bone.

Apply this code for initial encounters involving a newly diagnosed, closed, displaced fracture at the base of the femoral neck when the specific side (left or right) has not been documented by the provider. This is appropriate for the acute phase of treatment, including initial evaluation, imaging, and decision-making for management. It should be used when the fracture is not open to the external environment.

• Ensure "displaced" and "closed" are clearly documented by the provider.
• Use this code only for the initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Avoid using this code if laterality (left or right femur) is specified; a more specific code should be chosen.
