ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of head of left radius, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the radial head in the left arm, which is an injury to the top part of the forearm bone near the elbow. The fracture is an open type I or II, meaning there's a break in the skin communicating with the fracture, and the patient is experiencing delayed healing during a follow-up visit.
This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's subsequent visit for an open, non-displaced left radial head fracture (Type I or II) where the healing process is not progressing as expected. It would be used after the initial treatment phase, indicating ongoing management due to delayed union.
