ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of medial wall of right acetabulum, initial encounter for open fracture
This code signifies a break in the inner wall of the right hip socket (acetabulum) that has not shifted from its normal position. The fracture is classified as an open fracture, meaning the skin and soft tissues have been compromised, exposing the bone to the outside environment. This specific code is used for the initial treatment of such an injury.
This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with a right acetabular fracture where imaging confirms a nondisplaced break of the medial wall. It is specifically used when there is an associated open wound communicating with the fracture site, requiring immediate medical attention.
