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

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) at the lower end of the right radius, which has healed improperly (malunion). This indicates a previous injury where the bone's growth plate was involved, and the subsequent healing resulted in an anatomical deformity.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated or evaluated for complications arising from a malunited Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the distal right radius. This would include scenarios such as assessing functional limitations, planning corrective surgery, or managing pain related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the outcome of the previous fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right arm) and the specific Salter-Harris type (Type II) are documented.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
