Nondisp fx of posterior column of unsp acetabulum, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the posterior column of the acetabulum, specifically the ilioischial portion, where the side (left or right) is not specified. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, but there are ongoing effects or complications related to the prior fracture.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care, chronic pain, functional limitations, or other long-term sequelae directly attributable to a previously sustained nondisplaced posterior column acetabular fracture of an unspecified side. This applies when the acute phase of treatment for the fracture is complete, and the patient is being managed for its lasting impact.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior fracture as a sequela.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute fracture; instead, use the appropriate acute fracture code.
• If the laterality (left or right) of the acetabulum is known, a more specific sequela code should be used.
