Displaced apophyseal fracture of right femur, init

This code signifies a fracture occurring at the apophysis of the right femur, which is a growth plate or secondary ossification center, and is currently out of its normal alignment. This type of fracture is typically seen in adolescents and young adults due to repetitive stress or acute injury. The "displaced" nature indicates that the bone fragments are not in their anatomical position.

Apply this code for the initial treatment encounter of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced apophyseal fracture of the right femur. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing evaluation, reduction, or initial stabilization for the fracture. It is appropriate for both non-surgical and surgical initial management.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right femur" to support code assignment.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Distinguish from epiphyseal fractures, which involve the end of a long bone, and other types of femoral fractures.
