Disp fx of ant wall of left acetab, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the anterior wall of the left acetabulum, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The patient is in the healing phase following initial treatment, and the recovery process is proceeding without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced anterior acetabular wall fracture of the left hip is undergoing routine post-operative or post-treatment care. It indicates that the fracture is healing as expected and no new complications have arisen.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "anterior wall" of the left acetabulum.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the laterality is explicitly documented as "left."
