Nondisp fx of anterior column of left acetabulum, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the anterior column (iliopubic) of the left acetabulum. The fracture itself is no longer acute, but the patient is experiencing ongoing issues or complications directly attributable to the previous injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other chronic sequelae directly related to a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the left acetabular anterior column. This is appropriate for follow-up visits where the primary focus is managing these persistent effects, rather than the initial healing phase.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the old fracture.
• Verify the fracture was indeed nondisplaced and located in the anterior column of the left acetabulum.
