Nondisp avulsion fx unsp ischium, subs for fx w delay heal

This code describes a fracture where a small piece of bone is pulled away by a tendon or ligament, specifically from an unspecified ischium, without displacement. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is in a subsequent encounter for this fracture, and the healing process is delayed.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for an avulsion fracture of the ischium that is not healing as expected. This applies when the fracture was initially nondisplaced and the bone fragment remains in its original position. It is appropriate for ongoing management and monitoring of the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the ischial avulsion fracture.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and an "avulsion" type.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment or a sequela encounter.
