Fx superior rim of right pubis, subs for fx w nonunion

This code describes a situation where a patient has sustained a fracture to the upper border of the right pubic bone, and this fracture has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion. This specific encounter is for ongoing management or treatment of this unhealed fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient visit for follow-up care, cast change, physical therapy, or surgical planning related to a previously diagnosed superior right pubic rim fracture that has not united. This applies when the patient is still actively receiving treatment for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right superior pubic rim.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Pair with external cause codes (V, W, X, Y) if the cause of the fracture is known and relevant to the encounter.
