Nondisplaced dome fracture of right acetabulum, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a previously sustained fracture of the dome of the right acetabulum, where the bone fragments remained in their anatomical position. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing a residual problem directly attributable to that past nondisplaced fracture.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a current condition or symptom that is a direct consequence of a healed, nondisplaced dome fracture of the right acetabulum. This could include chronic pain, stiffness, degenerative changes, or functional limitations that developed after the acute phase of the original injury. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent issues.

• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific manifestation or current condition being treated (e.g., M16.11 for unilateral primary osteoarthritis of right hip).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced dome fracture of the right acetabulum.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute fracture or for follow-up care during the active healing phase.
