Nondisp assoc transv/post fx r acetab, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the right acetabulum (hip socket) that involves both the transverse and posterior columns, but the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced associated transverse-posterior acetabular fracture of the right hip, and the physician notes delayed healing during the encounter. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase, such as cast removal or initial surgical fixation, when healing progress is slower than anticipated.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies both "transverse" and "posterior" involvement of the right acetabulum.
• Verify the encounter is for "subsequent care" and explicitly mentions "delayed healing" to support the seventh character 'G'.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for fractures that are healing normally or with nonunion/malunion.
