ICD-10-CMDisplaced subtrochanteric fracture of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a fracture located in the subtrochanteric region of the femur, meaning below the lesser trochanter but above the femoral shaft. The fracture fragments are not in their anatomical alignment (displaced), and the injury involves an open wound communicating with the fracture site, classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II.
Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced subtrochanteric femur fracture that has an associated open wound of Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This is appropriate for the first encounter where active treatment for the fracture is being provided.
