Nondisplaced subtrochanteric fracture of unsp femur, init

This code signifies a fracture of the femur located below the lesser trochanter but above the femoral condyles, without any displacement of the bone fragments. It specifically indicates that the skin over the fracture site remains intact (closed fracture) and that this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial presentation and treatment planning for patients diagnosed with a subtrochanteric femur fracture that has not displaced. It applies to cases where the fracture is managed conservatively or surgically, as long as it's the first time the patient is being seen for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is indeed the "initial" one for this fracture; subsequent encounters will use different seventh characters.
• Confirm the fracture location is specifically subtrochanteric, not intertrochanteric or shaft.
