Nondisp spiral fx shaft of rad, l arm, 7thB

This code describes a fracture of the main part (shaft) of the left radius bone that follows a spiral pattern, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the skin was broken, exposing the fracture to the outside environment, classified as either a Type I or Type II open fracture.

This code is used for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a left radial shaft fracture that is nondisplaced and has an associated open wound consistent with Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This would typically be documented in the emergency department or during the initial surgical intervention.

• Confirm laterality (left arm) and the specific bone involved (radius shaft).
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "spiral."
• Ensure documentation clearly states an "open fracture" and specifies Type I or II.
