Nondisp intertroch fx r femur, init for opn fx type 3A/B/C

This code signifies a fracture of the right femur located between the greater and lesser trochanters, which has not shifted from its normal alignment. It specifically applies when the fracture is an open injury, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, and is classified as a severe type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC open fracture. This indicates significant soft tissue damage and contamination.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, nondisplaced intertrochanteric fracture of the right femur that is an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right femur."
• Verify the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is explicitly stated by the physician.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury.
