Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end rad, unsp arm, 7thK

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate at the upper end of the radius bone. Specifically, it indicates that the fracture has not healed as expected and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this nonunion.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II physeal fracture of the proximal radius is being treated for a documented nonunion. This would include visits for ongoing management, evaluation of treatment effectiveness, or planning for further intervention for the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the "upper end of the radius."
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
