Unsp physeal fx lower end radius, right arm, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from an unspecific fracture of the growth plate located at the distal end of the right radius. The original injury's acute phase has passed, and the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that fracture.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing problems, such as pain, deformity, limited range of motion, or growth disturbance, that are a direct result of a previously sustained, unspecified physeal fracture of the right distal radius. This is appropriate when the initial injury is no longer acute but its consequences persist.

• Always sequence this code after the code describing the specific sequela (e.g., malunion, growth arrest).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior physeal fracture of the right radius.
• Do not use for acute fractures; this code is exclusively for sequelae.
