ICD-10-CMDisplaced segmental fracture of shaft of right fibula, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a fracture of the right fibula's shaft that has broken into multiple pieces (segmental) and is no longer in its anatomical alignment (displaced). It specifically indicates an open fracture, meaning the skin and soft tissues were compromised, but the wound is relatively clean with minimal soft tissue damage (Type I or II).
This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right fibula shaft fracture that is both displaced and segmental, and where the fracture has broken through the skin in a manner consistent with an open fracture Type I or II. This would typically be used in the emergency department or during the initial surgical repair.
