Nondisp dome fracture of unsp acetabulum, init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture of the dome of the acetabulum (the socket of the hip joint) that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the fracture is an open fracture, meaning there is a break in the skin or mucous membrane leading to the bone.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of an open, nondisplaced dome acetabular fracture where the specific side (left or right) of the acetabulum is not documented. This would include cases presenting to the emergency department or for initial surgical repair.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "open fracture" for the acetabular dome.
• Only use this code for the initial encounter for treatment of the fracture. Subsequent care will require different encounter codes.
• If the laterality (left or right) of the acetabulum is specified, a more specific code should be used.
