Nondisp segmental fx shaft of radius, right arm, init

This code signifies a fracture of the right radius bone, specifically involving a segment of its shaft, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that the injury is a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact.

Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a non-displaced, segmental fracture of the shaft of their right radius. This applies when the fracture is not open to the environment and the patient is receiving their first medical care for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right arm" and "shaft" to support this code.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "segmental."
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of this specific fracture.
