Displaced avulsion fx right ischium, init for opn fx

This code signifies a specific type of pelvic fracture involving the right ischium, where a fragment of bone has been pulled away by a tendon or ligament (avulsion) and is no longer in its normal anatomical position (displaced). The fracture is also characterized as an open fracture, meaning there is a break in the skin and the bone may be exposed or communicate with the outside environment.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced avulsion fracture of the right ischium that is also an open fracture. This code is specifically for the initial encounter for treatment of this acute injury. It would be appropriate for documentation of the injury prior to definitive surgical or non-surgical management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "avulsion" for the right ischium.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "open" to use this specific code.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the fracture; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
