Nondisp dome fx left acetabulum, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the dome of the left acetabulum that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is taking longer than expected to mend.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced left acetabular dome fracture where the healing process is progressing slower than anticipated. This would be used for office visits, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy sessions related to the delayed union of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "dome" of the acetabulum.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm that the physician explicitly notes "delayed healing" in the patient's record.
