Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r rad, 7thM

This code describes a situation where a patient has a transverse fracture of the shaft of their right radius that is not displaced. The fracture was initially an open fracture (Type I or II), and despite previous treatment, the bone has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

This code is used during follow-up encounters for a patient with a previously treated open transverse right radial shaft fracture where the fracture fragments have not united. It specifically applies when the initial open fracture was classified as Type I or II and nonunion is now diagnosed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the initial open fracture type (I or II).
• Verify the fracture is of the right radius shaft and is transverse and nondisplaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
