Nondisp fx of head of r rad, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the radial head on the right arm that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, indicating they are receiving follow-up treatment for a fracture that is healing without complications and without an open wound.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed closed, nondisplaced right radial head fracture that is progressing through routine healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic checks confirming expected bone consolidation.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right radius head" for accurate code selection.
• The 7th character "D" is crucial and indicates subsequent care for a closed fracture with routine healing. Do not use for initial treatment or malunion/nonunion.
• Verify the encounter type aligns with subsequent care; this code is not for the initial fracture treatment.
