Fx superior rim of left pubis, subs for fx w routn heal

This code indicates a documented fracture of the upper border of the left pubic bone that is currently undergoing routine healing. It signifies that the patient is in a follow-up phase of care for this specific injury, and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed superior left pubic rim fracture that is healing as expected. This includes appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or general follow-up to assess healing progress without intervention for complications.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "left pubis" and "superior rim" for accurate laterality and specificity.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters with delayed healing/nonunion.
• Always sequence this code after any associated external cause codes, if applicable, for the original injury.
