Displaced avulsion fx right ilium, subs for fx w delay heal

This code describes a fracture where a piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone of the right ilium, and the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment. This specific code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for documentation of ongoing management of a right iliac avulsion fracture that is not progressing to union as anticipated. It would be used during subsequent visits for patients undergoing conservative treatment or post-surgical follow-up for this specific type of fracture, where delayed healing is noted.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is specifically an avulsion type and located on the right ilium.
• Distinguish from nonunion or malunion, which have separate codes.
