Disp fx of head of l rad, 7thM

This code signifies a situation where the patient has a displaced fracture of the head of the left radius, meaning the broken bone fragments are out of alignment. This specific encounter is for ongoing treatment of an open fracture (where the skin was broken) classified as type I or II, and the fracture has not healed as expected (nonunion).

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving care for a previously diagnosed displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the left radial head that has failed to unite. This would apply to situations such as cast changes, wound care, or surgical planning for the nonunion, after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "left radius head" for accurate laterality and fracture type.
• Verify the open fracture was initially classified as Type I or II and that nonunion is explicitly documented.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
