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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a right radius shaft fracture that involves multiple segments, has not been displaced, and was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The subsequent encounter specifically addresses a complication where the bone has healed in an abnormal alignment.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously treated open segmental radius shaft fracture of the right arm, where malunion has been identified. This is appropriate for follow-up appointments, physical therapy, or surgical planning related to the malunion.

• Ensure the initial injury was an open fracture, Type I or II, and involved the shaft of the radius.
• Confirm the fracture is segmental and nondisplaced, and that malunion is the specific complication being addressed.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the fracture would use a different code.
