ICD-10-CMDisplaced oblique fracture of shaft of right radius, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right radial shaft fracture that is visibly open to the environment and has an oblique fracture pattern with displacement. It applies to situations where the wound is relatively clean (Type I) or has moderate soft tissue damage (Type II).
