Nondisp spiral fx shaft of unsp femr, 7thB

This code describes a fracture where the break in the femoral shaft is spiral-shaped and the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small, indicating a low-energy injury. This specific code is for the initial treatment of such an injury when the affected femur is not specified.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an open spiral fracture of the femoral shaft, where the fracture is confirmed as nondisplaced and the open wound is classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment, such as surgical repair or casting.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "spiral" morphology of the femoral shaft fracture.
• Confirm the open fracture type is clearly documented as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II.
• This code is for an unspecified femur; if laterality is known, a more specific code should be used.
