Nondisp seg fx shaft of rad, r arm, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a right radius shaft fracture that involves a segment of the bone, is not displaced, and is healing as expected without complications. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving routine follow-up care for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced segmental fracture of the right radial shaft. This includes appointments for cast checks, wound care (if applicable to a closed fracture), or assessment of healing progress during the typical recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right arm" and "nondisplaced segmental fracture of shaft of radius."
• Verify the encounter is for routine healing of a closed fracture, not an open one or one with delayed/nonunion.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use other seventh characters for initial treatment or complications.
