ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of base of neck of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a break in the lower part of the femoral neck, near where it joins the shaft of the femur, without any displacement of the bone fragments. The fracture is contained within the skin, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site. This particular code is for the initial treatment phase of such an injury to the right femur.
Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture at the base of the right femoral neck. This is appropriate for the initial encounter where definitive treatment, such as casting, reduction, or surgical repair, is being planned or performed. It should be used when the fracture is confirmed to be closed.
