Acetabulum Fracture ICD-10-CM Codes

What ICD-10 Codes are Used for Acetabulum Fracture?

Acetabulum fractures involving the hip socket or the cup-shaped part of the pelvis are classified by specific ICD-10-CM codes. Here are ten commonly used codes for Acetabulum fractures, along with brief clinical descriptions:

S32.0XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, initial encounter: Applied when an unspecified part of the right femur's neck is fractured, and it's the first encounter with a healthcare provider.

S32.0XXB - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, subsequent encounter: Used for follow-up visits or continuing care related to a fracture of the unspecified part of the right femur's neck.

S32.0XXS - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, sequela: For cases where a fracture of the right femur's neck has resulted in a lasting condition or complication.

S32.1XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, initial encounter: Utilized when an unspecified part of the left femur's neck is fractured, and it's the first encounter with a healthcare provider.

S32.1XXB - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, subsequent encounter: Applied for follow-up visits or continuing care related to a fracture of the unspecified part of the left femur's neck.

S32.1XXS - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, sequela: Used for cases where a fracture of the unspecified part of the left femur's neck has resulted in a lasting condition or complication.

S32.2XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of unspecified femur, initial encounter: For fractures of the unspecified part of the femur's neck when the side is not specified, and it's the first encounter with a healthcare provider.

S32.2XXB - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of unspecified femur, subsequent encounter: Used for follow-up visits or continuing care related to a fracture of the unspecified part of the femur's neck when the side is not specified.

S32.2XXS - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of unspecified femur, sequela: For cases where a fracture of the unspecified part of the femur's neck, with no specified side, has resulted in a lasting condition or complication.

S32.4XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of femur, initial encounter for closed fracture: Applied when an unspecified part of the femur's neck is fractured (closed fracture), and it's the first encounter with a healthcare provider.

Which Acetabulum Fracture ICD Codes are Billable?

The billable status of the mentioned ICD-10 codes for Acetabulum Fracture varies:

S32.0XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, initial encounter: Yes, billable. Medical expenses related to this specific fracture's initial assessment and treatment can be claimed.

S32.0XXB - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, subsequent encounter: Yes, billable. Follow-up visits for continuing care related to this specific fracture are eligible for reimbursement.

S32.0XXS - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of right femur, sequela: Yes, billable. This code covers lasting effects or complications resulting from this specific fracture.

S32.1XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, initial encounter: Yes, billable. Medical expenses related to this specific fracture's initial assessment and treatment can be claimed.

S32.1XXB - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, subsequent encounter: Yes, billable. Follow-up care for continuing care related to this specific fracture is eligible for reimbursement.

S32.1XXS - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of left femur, sequela: Yes, billable. This code covers lasting effects or complications resulting from this specific fracture.

S32.2XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of unspecified femur, initial encounter: Yes, billable. Medical expenses related to the initial assessment and treatment of this specific fracture with no specified side can be claimed.

S32.2XXB - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of unspecified femur, subsequent encounter: Yes, billable. Follow-up visits for continuing care related to this specific fracture with no specified side are eligible for reimbursement.

S32.2XXS - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of unspecified femur, sequela: Yes, billable. This code covers lasting effects or complications from this specific fracture with no specified side.

S32.4XXA - Fracture of unspecified part of neck of femur, initial encounter for closed fracture: Yes, billable. Medical expenses related to this specific closed fracture's initial assessment and treatment can be claimed.

Clinical Information

• An acetabulum fracture is a break in the socket of the hip joint, called the acetabulum.
• These fractures are often caused by high-energy trauma, such as car accidents or falls from height.
• Diagnosis involves a thorough physical examination and imaging studies like X-rays or CT scans.
• The fracture's type and severity are classified using systems like the Judet and Letournel classification.
• Treatment options include nonsurgical management with traction and surgery to repair the fracture, often involving open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
• Surgical approaches may vary based on the fracture's location and complexity.
• Rehabilitation and physical therapy are crucial components of recovery to restore hip joint function.
• Complications can include arthritis, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, or post-traumatic arthritis.
• Close monitoring and follow-up are essential to assess healing and address any complications promptly.
• Multidisciplinary care may involve orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and pain management specialists.
