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

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient with a radius shaft fracture that is not displaced and involves a segmental break. The fracture is healing routinely without complications, and the encounter is for ongoing management of the closed injury.

This code is appropriate for office visits or other follow-up encounters where a patient is being monitored for a healing, nondisplaced segmental radius shaft fracture. It applies when the fracture is closed and progressing through normal healing stages, typically after initial treatment and before full recovery.

• Ensure the documentation specifies a "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "shaft of radius" and is "segmental" and "nondisplaced."
• Do not use this code for initial treatment, malunion, nonunion, or delayed healing.
