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

This code describes a fracture of the inner wall of the hip socket, where the broken bone fragments are not in their normal anatomical position. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for a fracture that is healing as expected.

Use this code for subsequent visits when a patient is recovering from a displaced medial wall acetabular fracture and the healing process is progressing routinely. This applies to scenarios such as cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or routine follow-up appointments during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "medial wall" of the acetabulum.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion healing.
• Always confirm the laterality (left, right, or unspecified) if available in the medical record.
