Unsp fracture of right pubis, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies an unspecified fracture of the right pubic bone that has failed to heal properly after the initial treatment. It indicates that the patient is presenting for ongoing care related to this non-healing fracture.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed right pubic fracture is seen for follow-up care, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture fragments have not united. This is appropriate for encounters involving management of the nonunion, such as further surgical planning, conservative management, or evaluation of complications.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" for the right pubic fracture.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Always check for laterality (right) and specificity of the bone (pubis).
