Unspecified fracture of right pubis, sequela

This code indicates a past, unresolved fracture of the right pubic bone where the specific type of fracture (e.g., displaced, non-displaced) was not documented or is unknown. The "sequela" designation means this code is used for conditions that are residual effects or complications of the original injury, occurring after the acute phase has passed.

Apply this code when a patient presents with ongoing issues, symptoms, or complications directly related to a previously sustained, unspecified fracture of the right pubis. This includes chronic pain, nonunion, malunion, or other long-term effects that are a direct consequence of the original injury. It should be used when the acute injury has healed but its lasting impact is still being addressed.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous pubic fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial or acute treatment of a pubic fracture; instead, use the appropriate acute fracture code.
• Verify that the laterality (right) and the "sequela" designation are explicitly supported by the clinical record.
