Nondisp segmental fx shaft of radius, right arm, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a segmental fracture of the shaft of the right radius, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the original injury. It indicates that the patient is now experiencing a long-term effect or complication directly attributable to this past fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic issue, such as pain, limited range of motion, or deformity, that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced segmental fracture of the right radial shaft. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing phase, when the fracture itself is no longer acute.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, malunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced segmental radial shaft fracture.
• Verify that the fracture was indeed nondisplaced and segmental, and located in the shaft of the right radius.
