Unsp fracture of left pubis, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the left pubic bone where the specific type of fracture (e.g., superior ramus, inferior ramus) is not documented. The "G" in the seventh character indicates that the patient is in a subsequent encounter for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of an unspecific left pubic fracture, and the physician explicitly documents delayed healing. This would apply to situations where the fracture has not united within the expected timeframe, requiring continued management or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the seventh character "G."
• Verify the laterality is specifically "left pubis."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
