Nondisp assoc transv/post fx l acetab, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the left acetabulum, specifically involving the transverse and posterior columns, which is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the healing process is progressing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced associated transverse-posterior fracture of the left acetabulum is being monitored for healing, and the physician documents delayed union or non-union. It would be used when the patient is still receiving active treatment for the fracture, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, due to the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or similar terminology for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is of the left acetabulum and involves both transverse and posterior columns.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, not initial treatment.
