Which injury would NOT be coded as a displaced injury?

Minimally displaced facial fractures would not be coded as a displaced injury because the term "minimally displaced" indicates that the bones have not significantly moved from their normal anatomical position. In medical coding, a displaced injury refers to fractures where the bone fragments have shifted and are not aligned properly. In contrast, minimally displaced fractures have only slight misalignment, if any, and do not require the same coding as those with more significant displacement.

Severe skull fractures and severe spinal fractures typically involve a degree of displacement that is significant, leading to coding these injuries as displaced. Displaced limb fractures represent a clear example of a fractured limb where the fragments have moved away from their original positions. Thus, minimally displaced facial fractures stand out as the correct answer, as they do not meet the criteria for coding as a displaced injury.
