Displaced apophyseal fx r femur, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture of the growth plate (apophysis) in the right femur that has shifted from its normal position. It specifically indicates that the skin was broken, exposing the bone, and is being treated for the first time.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed displaced fracture involving the apophysis of the right femur, where the injury is classified as an open fracture (Type I or II Gustilo-Anderson classification). This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "apophyseal" to differentiate from other femoral fractures.
• Verify the laterality is "right" and that the encounter is indeed the "initial" one for this specific injury.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) is documented, as this impacts the seventh character.
