Nondisp fx of medial wall of right acetabulum, sequela

This code describes a healed or residual condition resulting from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the inner wall of the right hip socket (acetabulum). The "sequela" indicates that the fracture itself is no longer acute, but the patient is experiencing ongoing issues or complications directly attributable to that past injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term complications, pain, or functional limitations directly related to a past, non-displaced fracture of the medial wall of the right acetabulum. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing phase, where the focus is on the chronic effects of the injury.

• Always use an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, malunion, nonunion, arthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fracture and specifies the non-displaced nature.
• Do not use for acute fractures or initial treatment encounters; reserve for chronic or residual conditions.
