Disp fx of nk of l rad, 7thF

This code describes a fracture in the neck of the left radius bone that is no longer in its anatomical position, specifically an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This particular code is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care during the routine healing phase of this specific injury.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced open fracture of the neck of the left radius (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is receiving ongoing care and the fracture is healing as expected. This applies to follow-up visits, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing period.

• Ensure the fracture is specifically of the left radius neck and is displaced.
• Verify the open fracture type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) from the medical record.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
