S32.424A vs S32.426A
S32.424A (Nondisplaced fracture of posterior wall of right acetabulum, initial encounter for closed fracture) compared with S32.426A (Nondisplaced fracture of posterior wall of unspecified acetabulum, initial encounter for closed fracture), from the official CMS tabular data. S32.424A and S32.426A code the same condition on opposite sides.
