Bent bone of left radius, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code indicates a fracture of the left radius where the bone has bent but not completely broken through, and the patient is in the healing phase following initial treatment. The fracture is closed, meaning there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.

Use this code for follow-up visits for a patient with a bent bone fracture of the left radius that is healing normally. This applies when the patient has already received initial treatment and is now undergoing routine follow-up care, such as cast changes or monitoring of healing progress.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically a "bent bone" type and located in the left radius.
• Confirm that healing is routine and there are no complications, as this would require a different seventh character.
