Nondisp transverse fracture of shaft of right femur, init

This code signifies a break across the shaft of the right thigh bone that has not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that the fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial diagnosis and treatment of a right femoral shaft fracture that is transverse and nondisplaced. It applies when the patient presents for the first time for care of this closed fracture, such as in an emergency department or initial orthopedic consultation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "transverse" for the fracture type.
• Verify laterality is "right" and the anatomical site is the "femur shaft."
• The "A" seventh character is crucial for initial encounters for closed fractures.
