Nondisp fx of anterior wall of left acetabulum, init

This code signifies a break in the front part of the left hip socket that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. It specifically refers to an injury where the skin over the fracture remains intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the anterior wall of the left acetabulum. This includes emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, and the first hospitalization for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "anterior wall" of the acetabulum.
• Verify laterality (left) is explicitly documented.
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for a closed fracture; subsequent care will require different seventh characters.
