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

This code signifies a severe break in the shaft of the right fibula, where the bone is shattered into multiple fragments and the broken ends are not properly aligned. It also indicates that the fracture has broken through the skin, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II open fracture).

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right fibular shaft fracture that is both comminuted and displaced, and where the fracture has created an open wound classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This includes emergency department visits, initial surgical interventions, or the first encounter for definitive treatment.

• Confirm documentation specifies "right" fibula and "shaft" to ensure anatomical accuracy.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "comminuted" and "displaced."
• Ensure the open fracture type (Gustilo-Anderson I or II) is clearly stated in the medical record.
