Right femur (upper leg bone) fracture. ICD-10-CM S72.91XA is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v37.0): 533 Fractures of femur with mcc. 534 Fractures of femur without mcc. 791 Prematurity with major problems.
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.
After that, the IM rod (nail) is then placed. 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.

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 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.
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.
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.
You would use 27513. This includes fixation of the fracture which extends into the joint space.
