This code describes a situation where a patient has a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the neck of their left radius. The initial injury was an open fracture of a severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC), and the current encounter addresses a complication where the bone has healed in an imperfect or misaligned position.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for malunion of a non-displaced left radial neck fracture that was initially an open fracture of Gustilo type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. This would apply during ongoing management, assessment of the malunion, or planning for corrective procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication being addressed.
• Verify the initial fracture was indeed an open fracture of Gustilo type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
