Disp fx of posterior wall of right acetabulum, init

This code signifies a break in the posterior wall of the right hip socket (acetabulum) where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. This type of fracture can result in instability of the hip joint and may require surgical intervention depending on the degree of displacement. It is a specific injury to the weight-bearing surface of the pelvis.

Apply this code for initial encounters involving a newly diagnosed, displaced closed fracture of the posterior wall of the right acetabulum. This would typically be documented following imaging studies (e.g., X-ray, CT scan) confirming the location and displacement, and before definitive treatment has been initiated. It is appropriate for patients presenting with acute hip pain and trauma.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "posterior wall" of the right acetabulum.
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for the fracture, indicating active treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) to differentiate from open fractures.
