Nondisp avulsion fracture of right ischium, init for opn fx

This code signifies an injury where a fragment of bone has been pulled away from the right ischium, but the main bone structure remains in its normal anatomical position. The fracture is classified as an avulsion type and is an open fracture, meaning there is a break in the skin communicating with the fracture site.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, newly diagnosed avulsion fracture of the right ischium that involves an open wound. This code is appropriate for the initial treatment phase, such as emergency department visits or initial hospitalization, where definitive care for the open fracture is being provided.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" ischium and "nondisplaced" avulsion fracture.
• Verify the "open fracture" status is explicitly stated or clearly implied by the clinical notes (e.g., compound fracture, exposed bone).
• The "B" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for an open fracture, differentiating it from subsequent care.
