Nondisp Zone I fracture of sacrum, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a sacral fracture located in Zone I (ala or wing of the sacrum) that has not shifted from its original position. The patient is currently undergoing treatment for this fracture, which is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced Zone I sacral fracture that is exhibiting delayed union or prolonged healing. This would be used after the initial treatment phase, indicating ongoing management due to slow recovery.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for the sacral fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically in Zone I and is non-displaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial injury or active treatment phase without complications.
