Displaced dome fx right acetabulum, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the dome of the right acetabulum that is out of its normal alignment and is not healing at the expected rate. The patient is in a phase of treatment following the initial care for this specific fracture.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose right acetabular dome fracture, initially treated, is demonstrating delayed union. This includes situations where the patient is receiving ongoing conservative management, physical therapy, or surgical intervention specifically addressing the delayed healing of this displaced fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" and specifies the "right acetabulum" and "displaced dome fracture."
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" and not the initial treatment or a sequela.
• Always pair with external cause codes if applicable, and procedure codes for any interventions performed.
