Displaced dome fracture of right acetabulum, init

This code signifies a fracture of the dome of the right acetabulum, which is the socket portion of the hip joint, where the fracture fragments are not in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates that the skin over the fracture site is intact, and this is the first time the patient is receiving active treatment for this injury.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-surgical (closed) fracture of the superior aspect of the right acetabulum, where imaging confirms displacement of the bone fragments. This applies to the initial evaluation and management, such as emergency department visits or initial hospitalization.

• Confirm imaging reports explicitly state "displaced" and "dome" of the right acetabulum.
• Ensure the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
• Verify the fracture is documented as "closed" (skin intact) to avoid using open fracture codes.
