Disp fx of neck of left radius, subs for clos fx w malunion

This code signifies a situation where a patient has a previously treated fracture of the neck of the left radius that did not heal correctly, resulting in a malunion. The fracture itself was displaced, meaning the bone fragments were not in their normal alignment. This code is used during a follow-up visit for this specific complication.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a malunion of a previously treated displaced fracture of the neck of the left radius. This includes visits for assessment, ongoing treatment, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion, as long as the initial fracture was closed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the left radius neck.
• Verify that the original fracture was displaced and closed.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
