Displaced associated transv/post fx right acetabulum, init

This code describes a specific type of acetabular fracture involving the posterior column and transverse components, with displacement. It indicates the fracture is located in the right acetabulum and is being treated initially as a closed fracture, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, displaced fracture of the right acetabulum that involves both the posterior column and transverse elements. This applies when the fracture is managed non-surgically or prior to any surgical intervention, and the skin integrity over the fracture site is intact.

• Confirm laterality (right) and the specific fracture components (transverse and posterior column) are documented.
• Verify "displaced" is clearly stated in the physician's notes.
• Ensure this is the initial encounter for a closed fracture; subsequent encounters or open fractures will require different seventh characters.
