Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upper end rad, right arm, init

This code describes a specific growth plate fracture in the upper part of the right radius bone, where the fracture line extends through the physis and then exits through the metaphysis. This is a common type of physeal fracture, often occurring in children and adolescents, and is considered a closed injury, meaning the skin remains intact.

Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the proximal right radius. This applies to cases where the fracture is managed non-surgically (e.g., casting, splinting) or when the patient is first seen for evaluation and planning of definitive treatment.

• Ensure laterality (right arm) is accurately documented and selected.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed a Salter-Harris Type II and involves the upper end of the radius.
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture; subsequent encounters will require different seventh characters.
