Nondisp fx of r tibial tuberosity, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a break in the prominent bony bump located on the front of the right tibia, just below the knee, where the patellar tendon attaches. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. It also indicates that the fracture has broken through the skin, but with minimal soft tissue damage (Type I or II open fracture).

Apply this code for initial treatment of a right tibial tuberosity fracture that is documented as nondisplaced and open, specifically classified as Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification. This code is appropriate for the first encounter where active treatment for the fracture is provided.

• Confirm documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right" to ensure accurate laterality and displacement.
• Verify the open fracture type (I or II) is clearly documented; if not specified or if Type III, a different code is required.
• This "B" extension indicates an initial encounter for active treatment; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
