Displ assoc transv/post fx r acetab, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture involving both the transverse and posterior walls of the right acetabulum, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of healing, but the fracture is not progressing as expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed and treated displaced transverse-posterior acetabular fracture of the right hip is experiencing delayed healing. This would include situations where imaging shows persistent fracture lines or inadequate callus formation beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "transverse-posterior" involvement of the right acetabulum.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care related to the fracture and that delayed healing is explicitly noted.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures that are healing normally.
