Nondisp fx of nk of r rad, 7thJ

This code signifies a nondisplaced fracture located in the neck of the right radius that was initially an open fracture of type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. The patient is currently in a phase of delayed healing for this specific injury.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed open, nondisplaced right radial neck fracture (types IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) is experiencing a slower-than-expected healing process. It indicates ongoing management for the fracture's delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right radius neck."
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different code.
