Fracture of femur - S72

 Category Notes

  • A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
  • A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
  • The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification

 Type 1 Excludes

  • traumatic amputation of hip and thigh (S78.-)

 Type 2 Excludes

  • fracture of lower leg and ankle (S82.-)
