Disp fx of med wall of r acetab, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the inner wall of the right hip socket (acetabulum) where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits, such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions, for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the medial wall of the right acetabulum. It should be used when the physician documents routine healing and no new complications or delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "medial wall" of the right acetabulum.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent care" and "routine healing" to differentiate from initial treatment or complicated healing.
• Always review the full medical record to verify the laterality (right) and the type of encounter.
