Disp fx of neck of right radius, subs for clos fx w nonunion

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the neck of the right radius that has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and is being treated in a subsequent encounter. The fracture itself is a closed type, meaning the skin was not broken at the time of injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed displaced right radial neck fracture that has developed nonunion. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing conservative management, cast changes, or preparing for surgical intervention for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right radius neck.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture was initially "closed" to differentiate from open fractures.
