Displaced dome fracture of unsp acetabulum, init for clos fx

This code signifies a fracture of the dome of the acetabulum, which is the socket of the hip joint, where the bone fragments are not in their normal anatomical alignment. It specifically indicates that this is the initial treatment encounter for a fracture that has not broken through the skin.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-open fracture of the acetabular dome where imaging confirms displacement of the bone fragments. This applies to the initial hospital admission or outpatient visit for the definitive management of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "dome" of the acetabulum.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not follow-up care.
• Verify the fracture is closed; open fractures require different coding.
