Nondisp avulsion fx right ilium, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture where a piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone by a tendon or ligament, specifically in the right ilium. The bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position (nondisplaced), and the patient is in the healing phase following initial treatment.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed avulsion fracture of the right ilium. This includes scenarios such as routine check-ups, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the period of expected healing. It indicates that the fracture is progressing as anticipated without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right ilium" and "nondisplaced avulsion fracture."
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care during the routine healing phase, not initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Always check for laterality (right vs. left) and displacement status as these significantly impact code selection.
