Nondisplaced Zone I fracture of sacrum, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the uppermost part of the sacrum (Zone I) that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. This type of fracture is typically stable and does not involve displacement of the bone fragments.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the sacral ala or superior segment. This is appropriate for closed fractures, meaning the skin over the fracture is intact.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "Zone I" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is the initial one for this specific fracture; subsequent encounters will require a different seventh character.
• Verify the fracture is closed; open fractures have distinct coding pathways.
