(א) שום אונס - כגון שיש לו מכה בראשו או בזרועו או שהוא צריך לצאת לדרך ואין השיירא ממתנת עליו עד שיניח שתיהם מניח אותה שיכול .והי מינייהו עדיפא לענין הנחה י"א דיותר טוב שיניח ש"ר לבד דקדושתו חמורה וי"א שיניח לע"ע הש"י כדי שלא ישנה הסדר שבתורה בד"א כשיהיה יכול אח"כ להניח בדרך התפלה השניה אבל אם אח"כ לא יכול להניח התפלה השניה יניח הש"י והש"ר קודם הליכתו מביתו דמשום איחור דרכו לא התירו לו לבטל ממצות תפילין

English Translation

Some unforeseen circumstance - For example, if he has a wound/injury on his head or arm, or he needs to leave and his ride will not wait for him to put on both, he should just put on the one that he is able to. Which one is preferable to put on? One opinion is that it's better to put on the head tefillin since it's sanctity is greater. Another opinion is that he should put on the hand tefillin so as not to change from the order that's written in the Torah (ie. the hand tefillin are mentioned first in the passuk - Deuteronomy 6:8). When does this apply? When he is able to put on the other tefilla while on the road. But if he won't be able put the other one on later, he should put the hand and head tefillin on before he leaves his house, because the chachamim did not permit one to skip the mitzvah of tefillin due to being late.
