Nondisplaced dome fracture of unsp acetabulum, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual effect of a fracture to the dome of the acetabulum, which is the socket of the hip joint. The fracture was nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments did not separate significantly, and the specific side (left or right) of the acetabulum is not documented.

Use this code when documenting the long-term consequences or late effects of a previously sustained, nondisplaced dome acetabular fracture. This typically applies to follow-up visits after the initial healing phase, or when the patient presents with chronic pain, stiffness, or other issues directly attributable to the old injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "sequela" or indicates a chronic condition resulting from a past fracture.
• Verify that the fracture was specifically of the "dome" and "nondisplaced."
• Only use this code when the laterality of the acetabulum is truly unspecified in the medical record.
