Nondisp fx of post wl of l acetab, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the posterior wall of the left acetabulum that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to mend.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced posterior acetabular wall fracture of the left hip is still undergoing treatment, and the physician notes that the healing process is protracted. This would be used after the initial treatment phase, but before the fracture is fully healed.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "posterior wall" of the left acetabulum.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the physician's assessment of "delayed healing" is clearly documented.
