Disp fx of ant wall of r acetab, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a break in the front part of the right hip socket (acetabulum) where the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced anterior wall acetabular fracture of the right hip is experiencing delayed union. This includes situations where the provider is monitoring healing progress, adjusting treatment due to slow healing, or managing complications related to the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" and specifies the "anterior wall" of the "right acetabulum."
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "displaced."
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
