Nondisp avulsion fx right ischium, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a non-displaced avulsion fracture of the right ischium. The fracture is healing as expected without complications. This typically involves the detachment of a small piece of bone where a tendon or ligament attaches.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced avulsion fracture of the right ischium is undergoing routine follow-up care. This includes appointments for monitoring healing progress, cast changes, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right ischium" and "nondisplaced avulsion fracture."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for encounters involving delayed or complicated healing.
