Disp fx of neck of left rad, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the left radius bone that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is closed (skin intact) and healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up visits for a patient with a left radial neck fracture that was initially displaced but is now undergoing routine healing. This would include appointments for cast changes, X-ray evaluations confirming satisfactory progress, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the radial neck and on the left side.
• Confirm the documentation supports routine healing of a closed fracture.
