Disp fx of right tibial spine, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the bony prominence located on the top of the tibia (shin bone) within the knee joint, specifically on the right side. The fracture fragments are not in their anatomical alignment, indicating displacement.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the right tibial spine where the skin over the fracture site remains intact (closed fracture). This is typically seen following trauma to the knee, such as a fall or sports injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "right" tibial spine.
• Verify that this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury.
• Distinguish from open fractures or subsequent encounters for the same fracture.
