S72.364F
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced segmental fracture of shaft of right femur, subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
This code describes a fracture involving multiple segments of the shaft of the right femur that has not shifted from its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture is an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, meaning there is a break in the skin and significant soft tissue damage, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care where the fracture is healing routinely.
Use this code for follow-up encounters for patients with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced segmental open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) of the right femoral shaft who are exhibiting expected healing progress. This applies to situations such as cast changes, wound care, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period after initial treatment.
