Nondisp fx of head of r rad, 7thH

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a non-displaced fracture of the head of the right radius. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the current encounter addresses delayed healing of that fracture.

Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing management or evaluation of a right radial head fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and is not healing as expected. This applies to situations where the fracture fragments are still in their anatomical position, but the healing process is prolonged.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right radius head" to accurately assign this code.
• Confirm the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that the current encounter is for "delayed healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are displaced or healing normally.
