Displaced subtrochanteric fracture of left femur, init

This code signifies a fracture located in the subtrochanteric region of the left femur, meaning it occurs just below the lesser trochanter. The fracture fragments are not in their anatomical alignment (displaced), and the skin over the fracture site remains intact (closed).

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced subtrochanteric fracture of the left femur. This includes the initial evaluation, surgical repair, or casting performed for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" femur and "subtrochanteric" location.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and "closed."
• This "initial encounter" code is only used for the period of active treatment for the fracture.
