Displaced avulsion fracture of left ischium, init

This code signifies a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone mass of the left ischium due to a strong ligament or tendon pull. The fractured fragment is not in its anatomical position (displaced), and the skin over the fracture site remains intact (closed).

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed avulsion fracture of the left ischium that is documented as displaced and closed. This is typically seen in athletes or individuals experiencing sudden, forceful muscle contractions around the hip.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" ischium and "displaced" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not subsequent care.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "closed" to differentiate from open fractures.
