Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end rad, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture in the upper part of the right radius bone, classified as a Salter-Harris Type II. This type of fracture involves the growth plate and a portion of the metaphysis. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the right proximal radius, and the healing process is not progressing at the expected rate. This would be used after the initial treatment phase, during ongoing management of the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically Salter-Harris Type II and located at the upper end of the right radius.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
