Fracture of orbital floor, right side, init

This code signifies a break in the bony structure forming the bottom of the right eye socket. This type of fracture, often called a "blowout fracture," typically results from blunt force trauma to the eye. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin overlying the injury is intact.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-compound fracture of the orbital floor on the right side. Documentation should clearly state the location (right orbital floor), the nature of the fracture (closed), and that this is the initial treatment encounter for the injury.

• Ensure laterality is accurately documented (right vs. left).
• Distinguish between initial, subsequent, and sequela encounters using the appropriate 7th character.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed closed; open fractures require a different 7th character.
