Nondisplaced transverse fracture of right acetabulum, init

This code signifies a break in the right acetabulum, specifically a transverse fracture that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The acetabulum is the socket of the hip joint, and a transverse fracture indicates the break runs across the bone. This code is used for the initial treatment of such a fracture where the skin remains intact over the injury.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a non-displaced transverse fracture of the right acetabulum, typically identified via imaging studies like X-rays or CT scans. This is appropriate for the initial visit or hospitalization where definitive treatment for the fracture is being initiated, and there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "transverse" for the right acetabulum.
• Verify the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound).
