Disp fx of med wall of left acetab, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the inner wall of the left hip socket that has shifted out of its normal position. It indicates that the patient is in a later stage of recovery, where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after initial treatment for a displaced fracture of the medial wall of the left acetabulum. It should be used when the physician documents routine healing and the patient is not experiencing delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "medial wall of left acetabulum."
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and healing is described as "routine."
• Do not use if the healing is complicated (e.g., delayed, nonunion, malunion); different codes exist for those scenarios.
