Nondisp fx of coracoid process, r shoulder, init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process on the right shoulder that has not been displaced from its anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the skin and soft tissue overlying the fracture site have been compromised, exposing the bone to the external environment. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific injury.

Assign this code when documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right coracoid process fracture that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and involves an open wound. This would typically be used for emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or the first inpatient admission for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "open fracture" for the right coracoid process.
• Verify this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Always code associated open wound infections or complications separately.
