ICD-10-CMNondisplaced 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 remain in their normal alignment. It indicates that the fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I) or slightly larger with moderate soft tissue damage (Type II).
Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with an open subtrochanteric fracture of the right femur that is not displaced. This is appropriate for traumatic injuries where the bone has pierced the skin, and the wound characteristics align with Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II open fractures.
