Disp fx of nk of r rad, 7thE

This code signifies a displaced fracture located in the neck of the right radius bone. It specifically indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the healing process is proceeding routinely without complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed and treated open fracture of the right radial neck. This is appropriate when the fracture was initially classified as Type I or II, and the current assessment confirms routine healing. Use for subsequent visits after initial treatment, but before the fracture is fully healed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "neck of right radius."
• Verify the initial fracture was an open Type I or II and that healing is routine.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for nonunion/malunion; specific codes exist for those scenarios.
