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

This code signifies a break in the femur bone, specifically at the base of the femoral neck, which is the narrow section connecting the femoral head to the shaft. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical alignment. This diagnosis is for the initial treatment of a closed fracture, where the skin remains intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture at the base of the femoral neck, regardless of the cause (e.g., fall, trauma). This code is appropriate when the patient is receiving their initial active treatment for the injury. It should be used when the specific side (left or right) of the femur is not documented.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" of the femur.
• Verify that this is the patient's first encounter for active treatment of this specific fracture.
• Only use this code when the laterality (left or right femur) is unspecified in the medical record.
