Displ spiral fx shaft of r fibula, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture of the right fibula shaft that is both displaced and exhibits a spiral pattern. The fracture has broken through the skin, categorized as an open fracture of either Type I or Type II, indicating a relatively minor to moderate soft tissue injury.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced spiral fracture of the right fibula shaft. This is appropriate when the injury involves an open wound classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II.

• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the fibula shaft, not the malleolus or other fibular regions.
• Verify documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "spiral" fracture morphology.
• Ensure the open fracture type (I or II) is clearly documented for initial encounter reporting.
