Nondisp segmental fracture of shaft of right femur, init

This code signifies a break in the shaft (diaphysis) of the right thigh bone, characterized by multiple fracture lines within the same bone segment, but without any significant displacement of the bone fragments. The skin overlying the fracture remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced segmental fracture of the right femoral shaft. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of such an injury, prior to definitive surgical or non-surgical management.

• Ensure documentation specifies "segmental" and "nondisplaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the closed fracture, indicated by the "A" seventh character.
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the shaft (diaphysis) of the right femur.
