Displaced bimalleolar fracture of right lower leg, init

This code signifies a fracture involving both the medial and lateral malleoli of the right ankle, where the bone fragments are not in their normal anatomical alignment. This injury typically results from a rotational force applied to the ankle joint.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right bimalleolar fracture that is documented as displaced and closed (skin intact). This includes emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, and the first surgical intervention for the fracture.

• Confirm documentation specifies "displaced" and "bimalleolar" for the right lower leg.
• Ensure the encounter is the "initial encounter" for the fracture and that it is a "closed" fracture.
• Do not use for open fractures, subsequent encounters, or nonunion/malunion.
