ICD-10-CMDisplaced subtrochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a break in the upper part of the right thigh bone, specifically below the lesser trochanter, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small, indicating a low-energy injury.
Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed subtrochanteric fracture of the right femur that is visibly open to the environment, but without extensive soft tissue damage or contamination. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of such an injury.
