Nondisplaced avulsion fracture of left ilium, init

This code signifies a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone by a tendon or ligament, specifically located in the left ilium. The fracture fragments remain in their normal anatomical position, and this code is used for the initial treatment phase of the injury.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a left iliac avulsion fracture that is explicitly described as nondisplaced. This is appropriate for the first encounter a patient has for this specific injury, such as in an emergency department or initial orthopedic consultation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "avulsion" for the left ilium.
• Verify that this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific fracture.
• Distinguish from other types of iliac fractures (e.g., displaced, comminuted) and other encounter types (e.g., subsequent care, sequela).
