ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of neck of unspecified radius, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture in the neck of the radius bone, but the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position (nondisplaced). Crucially, this is a follow-up encounter where the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and is being managed without surgical intervention (closed fracture).
Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced radial neck fracture that has not united. This applies to follow-up visits, imaging reviews, or conservative treatment for the nonunion, provided the fracture was initially closed.
