Unsp fracture of right ischium, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies an unspecified break in the right ischium bone, which is part of the pelvis. It is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected. This indicates a complication in the bone repair.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed right ischial fracture presents for an office visit, hospital follow-up, or other encounter where the physician documents delayed healing. This would include situations where imaging shows incomplete union or clinical signs persist beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the right ischium fracture.
• Verify laterality (right ischium) is explicitly documented.
• This code requires a prior encounter where the initial fracture was coded.
