Sltr-haris Type I physl fx lower end radius, right arm, init

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type I growth plate fracture affecting the distal radius in the right arm. This type of fracture involves a separation of the epiphysis from the metaphysis through the physis, without bone involvement, and is considered a closed injury.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the growth plate at the end of the right radius. This is appropriate for the initial treatment of such an injury, typically seen in pediatric patients.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "Salter-Harris Type I" and "lower end of radius" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the laterality is "right arm" and the encounter is for the "initial" treatment of a "closed" fracture.
• Distinguish from other Salter-Harris types or open fractures, which would require different codes.
