Displaced dome fracture of right acetabulum, init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture of the superior portion of the right hip socket (acetabulum) that is out of its normal alignment. The fracture has broken through the skin and soft tissues, exposing the bone to the external environment. This specific code is used for the initial treatment encounter of such an injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial hospital admission or outpatient visit for a patient presenting with an open, displaced fracture of the dome of the right acetabulum. It would be used when the patient is undergoing initial surgical repair or stabilization of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "open" and "displaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (acetabular dome).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment; subsequent encounters will use a different seventh character.
