Nondisp fx of neck of unsp radius, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the neck of the radius bone in the forearm, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The specific side (left or right) of the radius is not documented. This diagnosis is for the initial treatment of a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the radial neck, where the affected side is not specified in the clinical documentation. This is appropriate for the initial visit where definitive treatment for the closed fracture is planned or initiated.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "closed fracture" for accurate code assignment.
• If the laterality (left or right) is documented, a more specific code should be chosen.
• This "A" extension indicates an initial encounter; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
