Nondisp subtrochnt fx left femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a break in the left femur located below the lesser trochanter but above the femoral shaft, where the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment. This specific diagnosis indicates that the fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there is a wound communicating with the fracture site, and the patient is receiving initial treatment for this injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced subtrochanteric fracture of the left femur that is classified as an open fracture type I or II. This is appropriate when the patient is undergoing their first encounter for definitive treatment of this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left femur" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as an "open fracture type I or II" to differentiate from other open fracture types or closed fractures.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture, not a subsequent encounter for follow-up care.
