ICD-10-CMNondisplaced articular fracture of head of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code describes a fracture involving the head of the right femur, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment (nondisplaced) and the fracture extends into the joint surface (articular). It specifically applies to an open fracture, meaning the skin and soft tissues are compromised, and is classified as either Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.
Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a nondisplaced articular fracture of the right femoral head that has broken through the skin. This typically occurs due to high-energy trauma, such as a fall from height or motor vehicle accident, where the bone is exposed or there is a wound communicating with the fracture site.
