Displaced avulsion fracture of right ilium, init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture where a fragment of the right ilium has been pulled away by a ligament or tendon, and the fractured pieces are not in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture has broken through the skin or mucous membrane, exposing the bone to the outside environment.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a displaced avulsion fracture of the right ilium that is classified as an open fracture. This includes situations such as a traumatic injury where the bone is visible through a wound, or a compound fracture requiring immediate surgical intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "avulsion" for the right ilium.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly documented as "open" to differentiate from closed fractures.
• The "B" in the seventh character indicates an initial encounter for this specific type of open fracture.
