Nondisp spiral fx shaft of rad, unsp arm, 7thE

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a spiral fracture of the radius shaft that is not displaced and was initially an open fracture of Type I or II. The fracture is currently healing routinely without complications. The specific arm affected is not documented.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed open spiral radius shaft fracture (Type I or II) that is progressing as expected. It indicates that the fracture is stable and healing without issues, and the encounter is for routine follow-up.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture, Type I or II, and involved the shaft of the radius.
• Do not use if the fracture is displaced, comminuted, or if healing is delayed or complicated.
