Nondisp transverse fx left acetab, subs for fx w delay heal

This code describes a fracture across the width of the left hip socket that has not shifted out of alignment. At this stage, the fracture is not healing as expected, indicating a complication in the recovery process. The patient is receiving ongoing care for this specific fracture.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a left acetabular transverse fracture that remains nondisplaced, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care due to delayed healing. This is appropriate for encounters where the physician is monitoring the slow or stalled union of the fracture fragments.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is indeed "nondisplaced" and located in the "left acetabulum."
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
