ICD-10-CMMultiple fractures of pelvis without disruption of pelvic ring, initial encounter for open fracture
This code signifies multiple fractures within the pelvic bones, but specifically excludes any injury that disrupts the structural integrity of the pelvic ring. It is used for the initial encounter where the fracture is an open type, meaning there is a break in the skin and underlying soft tissue communicating with the fracture site.
Apply this code for patients presenting with multiple non-displaced pelvic fractures, such as isolated iliac wing or sacral fractures, that do not compromise the stability of the pelvic ring. This is appropriate for the initial treatment phase of an open fracture, often seen in high-impact trauma cases.
