Nondisp fx of head of right radius, init for opn fx type I/2

This code signifies a fracture of the radial head on the right arm that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there is a wound that communicates with the fracture site, but the bone protrusion is minimal (Type I) or moderate (Type II). This code is specifically for the initial treatment encounter for this injury.

Use this code for patients presenting for their first treatment of a right radial head fracture that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and open (Type I or II). This would include initial evaluation, surgical repair, or casting/splinting procedures performed during the acute phase of injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right radius head" for accurate code selection.
• Verify the "initial encounter" status; subsequent care would require a different seventh character.
• Confirm the open fracture type (I or II) is documented; other open fracture types or closed fractures will use different codes.
