Nondisp fx of medial wall of unsp acetabulum, init

This code signifies a break in the inner portion of the hip socket (acetabulum) that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin over the injury is intact. This code is used for the initial treatment of the injury.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a nondisplaced fracture of the medial wall of the acetabulum, without specification of left or right, in a patient presenting for their first encounter for this injury. This would typically be seen in emergency department visits or initial orthopedic consultations following trauma.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial wall" of the acetabulum.
• Verify the encounter is for the initial treatment of the closed fracture.
• If laterality (left or right) is specified, a more specific code should be used.
