Nondisp avulsion fx unsp ischium, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone by a tendon or ligament, specifically in an unspecified part of the ischium. The bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position, and the patient is in the routine healing phase following initial treatment.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is recovering from an avulsion fracture of the ischium that was initially nondisplaced. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the patient is receiving ongoing care such as physical therapy or follow-up imaging.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "avulsion" for accurate code selection.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with routine healing.
• Verify the specific ischial location if known; "unspecified" should only be used when documentation lacks detail.
