Torus fx lower end of r radius, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a buckle or torus fracture affecting the lower portion of the right radius bone. This type of fracture is common in children and involves a compression injury that causes the bone cortex to buckle without a complete break. The "D" suffix indicates that the patient is in the healing phase and receiving routine follow-up care for this fracture.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving routine care for a previously diagnosed torus fracture of the lower end of the right radius. This includes follow-up appointments to monitor healing, cast changes, or removal of immobilization devices, assuming no complications or delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "torus" or "buckle" fracture of the right radius, lower end.
• The "D" suffix is appropriate for routine follow-up; use "A" for initial encounter and "G," "K," "P," or "S" for other subsequent encounter types or complications.
• Verify laterality (right) is clearly documented.
