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

This code signifies a fracture of the inner wall of the left hip socket that is still out of proper alignment. The patient is in a later stage of recovery, and the bone is not healing at the expected rate. This indicates ongoing medical management for the delayed union of the fracture.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the medial wall of the left acetabulum is presenting for continued care due to delayed healing. This would include scenarios such as repeat imaging showing persistent fracture lines or clinical assessment indicating slow recovery.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the medial wall of the left acetabulum and remains displaced.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
