Nondisp fx of posterior column of right acetabulum, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the posterior column of the right acetabulum, specifically the ilioischial portion. The fracture itself is no longer acute, and the patient is experiencing ongoing effects or complications related to the previous injury.

Use this code when documenting long-term sequelae such as chronic pain, stiffness, degenerative changes, or functional limitations directly attributable to a previously sustained, nondisplaced posterior column acetabular fracture on the right side. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing phase has concluded.

• Always assign an additional code(s) to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous acetabular fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or active treatment of the fracture; use the appropriate initial or subsequent encounter codes for active care.
