What does nondisplaced fracture mean? Fractures can be placed into two general categories: displaced or nondisplaced. In a nondisplaced fracture the bone is broken but has not shifted or moved out of position. In a displaced fracture, the bone has shifted significantly and the fractured ends of the bone are no longer in proper alignment.
According to the accepted nondisplaced fracture definition, the bone must be split into two or more parts. Fragments of the bone may break off, but they will remain in proper alignment, as opposed to hovering nearby. This is why the nondisplaced fracture is often also a closed fracture, which does not puncture the skin.
The moment of impact upon injury generally makes a difference in the type of fracture that takes place. Displaced and nondisplaced fractures differ in the breakage of the bone. Whereas in nondisplaced fractures the bone does not always crack all the way through, displaced fractures are out of alignment.
Scaphoid Non-Union Occasionally a scaphoid fracture is not diagnosed at the time of injury. If the fracture is not treated and the wrist is used normally, the motion across the fracture site can prevent the fracture from healing. A fracture that has not healed is called a non-union.

ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture S72. 91XA.
A femur fracture is a break, crack, or crush injury of the thigh bone. It is sometimes referred to as a hip fracture or broken hip when the break is in the upper part of the bone near the hip joint area. Femur fractures that are simple, short cracks in the bone usually do not require surgery.

The femur is your thigh bone. It's the longest, strongest bone in your body. It's a critical part of your ability to stand and move. Your femur also supports lots of important muscles, tendons, ligaments and parts of your circulatory system.
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.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
a hoffa fracture is an intra-articular supracondylar distal femoral fracture, characterized by a fracture in the coronal plane.
