Nondisplaced avulsion fracture of unsp ischium, init

This code signifies a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone of the ischium by a tendon or ligament, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The specific location of the avulsion on the ischium is not documented.

Apply this code for patients presenting with an acute, closed avulsion fracture of the ischium where imaging confirms no displacement of the bone fragment. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury, often seen in athletes or adolescents due to sudden muscle contractions.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "avulsion fracture" of the ischium.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Use this code when the specific part of the ischium (e.g., tuberosity, spine) is not identified in the medical record.
