Nondisp spiral fx shaft of rad, r arm, 7thP

This code signifies a right radius shaft fracture, specifically a spiral type, that was initially closed and is currently nondisplaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture has healed with malunion, meaning it has united in an anatomically incorrect position.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously treated right radial shaft spiral fracture is being assessed for malunion. It indicates that the fracture has healed, but with an undesirable alignment, and the patient is still under active treatment or monitoring for this condition.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right arm" and "shaft of radius" for anatomical accuracy.
• Verify that the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture is "closed" and "nondisplaced" at the time of initial injury.
• Confirm that the physician's assessment explicitly states "malunion" as the current healing status.
