Disp fx of head of unsp rad, 7thE

This code describes a fracture of the radial head that is out of alignment, specifically an open fracture (Type I or II) that is now in a subsequent phase of care and healing normally. The exact side (left or right) of the radius is not specified.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving routine care for a previously diagnosed and treated displaced open radial head fracture (Type I or II). This applies when the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a displaced fracture of the radial head and an open fracture type I or II.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or a complicated healing scenario.
• Confirm the laterality is truly unspecified; otherwise, a more specific code should be used.
