Unsp fx upr end unsp rad, 7thH

This code signifies an unspecified fracture of the upper end of the radius, where the specific type of fracture (e.g., radial head, neck) is not documented. It indicates that the fracture was an open fracture of either Type I or Type II, and the patient is in a subsequent phase of care due to delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient presents with an open, unspecified upper radial fracture (Type I or II) that is not healing as expected. This applies when the initial fracture details are vague, and the focus of the encounter is on managing the delayed healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for a subsequent encounter.
• Confirm the fracture was initially open and classified as Type I or II.
• Only use when the specific location of the fracture in the upper radius is not documented.
