Open Salter-Harris fractures

How do we code a Salter-Harris IV fracture of a distal tibia that happens to also be a class 3 open fracture. The 7th digit choices do not even mention open fracture. What are our options, if any?

Thanks for any input and/or advice.

Really? No one out there has any suggestions? Please reply if you do. How do you code a grade 3 open Salter-Harris IV fracture of distal tibia?
