Nondisplaced avulsion fracture of right ischium, init

This code signifies a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone mass of the right ischium, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. This type of injury typically occurs due to a sudden, forceful muscle contraction pulling on its bony attachment.

Apply this code for patients presenting with an acute, non-displaced avulsion fracture of the right ischium, confirmed by imaging. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "avulsion" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the laterality is explicitly documented as "right ischium."
• The "A" seventh character indicates the initial encounter for active treatment of the fracture.
