Zygomatic fracture, right side, init

This code signifies a fracture of the zygoma (cheekbone) on the right side of the face. It specifically indicates that the skin and underlying tissue remain intact (closed fracture) and that this is the patient's initial presentation for treatment of this injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting for the first time with a newly diagnosed, non-compound fracture of the right zygomatic bone. Documentation should clearly state "right zygoma fracture," "closed," and indicate that this is the initial treatment encounter. This code is appropriate for emergency department visits, initial consultations, or hospital admissions for the acute management of the fracture.

• Ensure laterality (right) is explicitly documented.
• Verify the fracture is indeed "closed" and not "open" (compound).
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for treatment; subsequent care would use a different encounter character.
