S32.451 — Displaced transverse fracture of right acetabulum
Is S32.451 billable?
No — S32.451 is a non-billable header code. S32.451 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 6 billable codes beneath S32.451.

- Fracture, traumatic › acetabulum › transverse › nondisplaced (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S32
The conditions below can never be reported together with S32.451 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- transection of abdomen (S38.3)
Code first — inherited from S32
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before S32.451. S32.451 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
- any associated spinal cord and spinal nerve injury (S34.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S32.451 to fully describe the condition. S32.451 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S32.451, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.451 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S32.451, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.451 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S32
The conditions below are not part of S32.451, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.451 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of hip NOS (S72.0-)
Code also — inherited from S32.4
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S32.451 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated fracture of pelvic ring (S32.8-)

How long has S32.451 existed?
S32.451 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
