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

This code signifies a fracture of the shaft of the right fibula that is angled (oblique) and has shifted out of its normal alignment (displaced). It specifically indicates that the skin was broken, exposing the bone, and the injury is classified as an open fracture type I or II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a patient presenting with an acute, displaced oblique fracture of the right fibular shaft where there is an open wound communicating with the fracture site, classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This code is appropriate for the initial encounter for care of this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" fibula and "oblique" fracture morphology.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced" and an "open fracture type I or II."
• This "B" seventh character is only for the initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
