The femur is opened and a wire with a ball tip is placed down the canal for measurement. Afterword the nail is placed and then secured with pins. Look at your note and see what hardware was used. You stated that the physician placed an IM in the femur: 27506 would be correct if its a shaft fracture.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M97.0 A traumatic or pathologic injury to the femur in which the continuity of the femur is broken. Breaks or rupture in bone situated between the hip and the knee, the femur. Fractures of the femur.
You stated that the physician placed an IM in the femur: 27506 would be correct if its a shaft fracture. If the fracture is intergrochanteric see 27245.

A broken thighbone, also known as a femur fracture, is a serious and painful injury. The femur is one of the strongest bones in the body, and a break or fracture in the femur bone is often caused by severe injury such as trauma sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
Proximal femoral fractures are a heterogeneous group of fractures that occur in and around the hip. The commonest type of fracture in this region is the femoral neck fracture. They can occur anywhere between the joint surface of the femoral head and the upper shaft (proximal diaphysis) of the femur.
Distal Femur (Thighbone) Fractures of the Knee. A fracture is a broken bone. Fractures of the thighbone that occur just above the knee joint are called distal femur fractures. The distal femur is where the bone flares out like an upside-down funnel. The distal femur is the area of the leg just above the knee joint.
You would use 27513. This includes fixation of the fracture which extends into the joint space.
Proximal femur includes the femoral head, neck and the region 5-cm distal to the lesser trochanter. There is a 125°–130° inclination angle between the head and neck and the femoral body. Further, there is a 15° anteversion angle between the plane passing through the condyles of the femoral head and the femur neck.
