S72.101A
ICD-10-CMUnspecified trochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a fracture of the trochanteric region of the right femur where the specific type of trochanteric fracture (e.g., intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric) is not documented. It indicates that the bone has not broken through the skin and this is the initial treatment for the injury.
This code is appropriate for a patient presenting with a right hip or thigh injury, diagnosed radiographically as a trochanteric fracture, but without further specification of the fracture type. It should be used when the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture and there is no open wound associated with the injury.
