Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for fracture and/or dislocation procedures on the pelvis and hip joint.
CPT Code 27197
CPT 27197 describes the closed treatment of posterior pelvic ring fractures, dislocations, diastasis, or subluxation of the ilium, sacroiliac joint, and/or sacrum, with or without anterior pelvic ring fractures and/or dislocations of the pubic symphysis and/or superior/inferior rami, unilateral or bilateral, without manipulation.
CPT Code 27198
CPT 27198 describes the closed treatment of posterior pelvic ring fracture(s), dislocation(s), diastasis or subluxation of the ilium, sacroiliac joint, and/or sacrum, with or without anterior pelvic ring fracture(s) and/or dislocation(s) of the pubic symphysis and/or superior/inferior rami, unilateral or bilateral, requiring more than local anesthesia (i.e., general anesthesia, moderate sedation, spinal/epidural) with manipulation.

CPT 27217 describes the open treatment of an anterior pelvic bone fracture and/or dislocation for fracture patterns that disrupt the pelvic ring, unilateral, which includes internal fixation of the pubic symphysis and/or ipsilateral superior/inferior rami.
CPT Code 27218
CPT 27218 describes the open treatment of a posterior pelvic bone fracture and/or dislocation, which includes internal fixation of the ipsilateral ilium, sacroiliac joint, and/or sacrum for fracture patterns that disrupt the pelvic ring, unilateral.
CPT Code 27220
CPT 27220 describes closed treatment of acetabulum (hip socket) fracture(s) without manipulation.
