Nondisp seg fx shaft of rad, r arm, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture of the radius shaft in the right arm that has not shifted out of alignment but involves multiple segments. It specifically indicates an initial encounter for an open fracture classified as Type I or II, meaning there is a break in the skin communicating with the fracture site.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a right radial shaft fracture that is both segmental and nondisplaced, and the injury is an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This is appropriate for the acute phase of care following the injury.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "segmental" for the radial shaft fracture.
• Verify the fracture is on the "right" arm and the encounter is "initial" for the injury.
• Confirm the open fracture type is explicitly documented as Type I or II to support this specific code.
