Unsp fx upper end of r radius, subs for clos fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the upper portion of the right radius, where the specific type of fracture (e.g., neck, head) is not documented. The patient is in a later stage of healing, and the fracture is not progressing as expected, but the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed, unspecified closed fracture of the right proximal radius, and the physician notes that the healing process is delayed. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase, but before the fracture is fully healed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" and specifies the right radius.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed "closed" and not an open fracture.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
