Nondisp avulsion fx left ilium, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone structure of the left ilium, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing routinely without complications.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced avulsion fracture of the left ilium is receiving routine care during the healing process. This applies to situations where the fracture is stable and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "avulsion" for the left ilium.
• The 7th character "D" indicates subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters with delayed healing/nonunion.
• Verify laterality (left ilium) is clearly documented.
