S32.49 — Other specified fracture of acetabulum
Is S32.49 billable?
No — S32.49 is a non-billable header code. S32.49 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 18 billable codes beneath S32.49.

How is S32.49 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to S32.49. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Fracture, traumatic › acetabulum › specified NEC (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S32
The conditions below can never be reported together with S32.49 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 S32.49. S32.49 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 S32.49 to fully describe the condition. S32.49 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 S32.49, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.49 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S32.49, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.49 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S32
The conditions below are not part of S32.49, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.49 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 S32.49 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated fracture of pelvic ring (S32.8-)

How long has S32.49 existed?
