The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S72.033B (Displaced midcervical fracture of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II), S72.033C (Displaced midcervical fracture of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and S72.036B (Nondisplaced midcervical fracture of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II).
