ICD-10-CMNondisplaced transverse fracture of right acetabulum, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code describes a fracture of the right acetabulum, specifically a transverse break that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.
This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced transverse fracture of the right acetabulum, and the physician notes that the fracture is not healing at the anticipated rate. This would include situations where additional interventions or extended immobilization are being considered due to delayed union.
