Disp fx of nk of r rad, 7thH

This code signifies a break in the neck of the right radius bone that is no longer in its proper alignment. It specifically indicates that the fracture was initially an open fracture (meaning the bone broke through the skin or there was a wound communicating with the fracture site) of either Type I or Type II, and that the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a displaced open fracture of the right radial neck that is demonstrating delayed union. It should be used after the initial treatment of the acute fracture, when the patient is still under active management for the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "right radius neck" for accurate laterality and site.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" to justify the "open fracture" specificity.
• Confirm the physician's assessment of "delayed healing" is explicitly documented.
