Disp fx of post wall of r acetab, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the posterior wall of the right acetabulum where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This specific encounter indicates that the fracture is not healing as expected, requiring ongoing medical management.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced posterior wall acetabular fracture of the right hip is experiencing delayed healing. This includes scenarios where conservative treatment is ongoing, or surgical intervention for non-union or delayed union is being considered or has recently occurred.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (posterior wall of acetabulum).
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
