S32.471B
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of medial wall of right acetabulum, initial encounter for open fracture
This code signifies a break in the inner wall of the right hip socket (acetabulum) that is no longer in its correct anatomical position. The fracture has also broken through the skin, exposing the bone to the outside environment.
This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right acetabular fracture involving the medial wall, where the bone fragments are displaced and there is an open wound communicating with the fracture site. This would typically be used in the emergency department or during the initial hospitalization for surgical repair.
