Displaced transverse fracture of right acetabulum, init

This code signifies a fracture of the right acetabulum, specifically involving the transverse portion, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This injury typically results from high-impact trauma to the hip.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-aligned fracture of the transverse acetabular wall on the right side. This includes emergency department visits, initial surgical interventions, or the first encounter for definitive management of the closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "transverse" to support this specific code.
• Verify the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not subsequent care.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) as opposed to an open fracture.
