Unspecified fracture of right ilium, sequela

This code signifies a past, unresolved fracture of the right ilium, where the specific type of fracture (e.g., displaced, nondisplaced, comminuted) was not documented or is unknown. It indicates that the patient is currently experiencing a residual effect or complication directly related to this previous injury.

Apply this code when a patient presents for treatment of a long-term complication or sequela stemming from an old, unspecified fracture of the right ilium. This includes situations where the initial injury occurred in the past and the patient is now being treated for chronic pain, nonunion, malunion, or other persistent issues directly attributable to that fracture.

• Always sequence this sequela code first, followed by a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., M84.4x for malunion, M96.0 for pseudarthrosis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old, unspecified right ilium fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute fractures; use the appropriate acute fracture code from the S32.301 category.
