Nondisp fx of nk of l rad, 7thF

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture of the neck of their left radius, where the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the fracture is currently healing as expected.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when monitoring the routine healing of a nondisplaced open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) of the left radial neck. This would include follow-up appointments for cast checks, wound care related to the open nature of the initial fracture, or assessment of healing progress.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left radius neck."
• Confirm the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• This code is for routine healing; use different codes for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
