Nondisp fx of l radial styloid pro, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the radius in the left arm that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The fracture has failed to heal properly and is in a state of nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to this ongoing issue.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left radial styloid fracture presents for treatment of a confirmed nonunion, and the fracture remains closed (skin intact). This is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of the fracture, where the nonunion is the primary focus of the encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "left radial styloid process."
• Confirm the encounter is for a "subsequent" visit for the nonunion, not the initial fracture treatment.
• Verify the fracture is documented as "closed" to differentiate from an open fracture nonunion.
