A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification

F — subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
G — subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
H — subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
J — subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing
K — subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
