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

This code signifies a fracture of the inner wall of the hip socket (acetabulum) that has shifted out of its normal position. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in a phase of treatment where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

This code is used for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced medial acetabular wall fracture is experiencing delayed union. It applies when the fracture has not fully healed within the anticipated timeframe, requiring continued medical management.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "medial wall" and "displaced."
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
