This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the neck of the right radius that has not healed properly (nonunion) and is being treated in a subsequent encounter. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right radial neck that has failed to unite. This includes visits for ongoing management, assessment of nonunion, or planning for further intervention related to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the initial fracture was an open fracture, Gustilo Type I or II, as this is crucial for code selection.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for fractures that have healed or are in the process of routine healing.
