S52.502E
ICD-10-CMUnspecified fracture of the lower end of left radius, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up encounter for an unspecified fracture of the lower end of the left radius that was initially an open fracture of type I or II. At the time of this encounter, the fracture is healing routinely without complications.
This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed open fracture (Type I or II) of the distal left radius, and the healing process is progressing as expected. It signifies that the initial acute treatment has been rendered, and the focus is now on routine recovery and monitoring.
