Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end rad, r arm, 7thD

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture in the distal radius of the right arm, where the fracture line extends through the physis and into the metaphysis. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is progressing with expected healing.

Apply this code for a patient presenting for a routine follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the right distal radius. This is appropriate when the physician documents normal healing progress without complications or delayed union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right arm" and "Salter-Harris Type II" for the distal radius.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial care or malunion/nonunion.
• Verify the encounter type aligns with routine follow-up for fracture healing.
