Nondisp fx of neck of r radius, subs for clos fx w nonunion

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture in the neck of their right radius that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" signifies that the fracture is failing to heal properly.

This code is appropriate for documentation of ongoing management of a right radial neck fracture that has not healed as expected. It should be used when a patient presents for an office visit, imaging, or other treatment related to the persistent nonunion of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right radius neck.
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is nondisplaced; displaced fractures would require a different code.
