Nondisp seg fx shaft of rad, l arm, 7thP

This code signifies a segmental fracture of the shaft of the left radius that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "malunion" specifies that the fracture has healed, but in an unsatisfactory position or alignment.

This code is appropriate for documenting follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced segmental fracture of the left radial shaft that has healed with malunion. This could include assessments of functional limitations, discussions of potential corrective procedures, or ongoing physical therapy related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the left radius.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment or active healing.
• Confirm the fracture was originally nondisplaced and segmental.
