S32.452A (Displaced transverse fracture of left acetabulum, initial encounter for closed fracture) compared with S32.453A (Displaced transverse fracture of unspecified acetabulum, initial encounter for closed fracture), from the official CMS tabular data. S32.452A and S32.453A code the same condition on opposite sides.
Same condition; these differ only in which side is documented.
These codes share a category and title and differ only in the side affected. The documentation decides which applies, and a bilateral code is reported only where the code set provides one.
