Fracture of superior rim of left pubis, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the upper edge of the left pubic bone, a component of the pelvis. This type of fracture can result from direct trauma or significant force transmitted through the lower extremities. Patients typically experience localized pain, tenderness, and difficulty with weight-bearing.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, newly diagnosed closed fracture of the superior rim of the left pubis. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of the injury. It would be used when the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

• Ensure laterality is correctly identified as "left."
• Verify that the encounter is indeed the "initial encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" and not an open fracture.
