S32.501A
ICD-10-CMUnspecified fracture of right pubis, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a fracture of the right pubic bone where the specific type of fracture (e.g., superior ramus, inferior ramus) is not documented. It indicates that the skin over the fracture site remains intact, and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this injury.
This code is appropriate for initial encounters when a patient presents with a confirmed fracture of the right pubis, but the physician documentation does not specify the exact anatomical location of the fracture within the pubic bone. It is used when the fracture is explicitly described as closed.
