Other and unspecified injuries of hip and thigh
A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from subcategories S79.0 and S79.1
A
initial encounter for closed fracture
D
subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
G
subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
K
subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
P
subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
S
sequela
