Sltr-haris Type I physl fx low end rad, r arm, 7thK

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type I fracture affecting the growth plate at the distal end of the right radius, which has failed to heal properly. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for this nonunion.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care, management, or treatment of a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture of the right distal radius that has not united. This includes scenarios where surgical intervention for nonunion is being planned or performed, or conservative management of the nonunion is ongoing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture type is Salter-Harris Type I and the location is the distal right radius.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial injury.
