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

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the lower part of the radius bone in the left forearm. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which is currently healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up visits for a pediatric patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the distal left radius. This includes appointments for cast changes, X-ray evaluations confirming routine healing, or general monitoring during the recovery phase.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left arm" and "routine healing" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and not initial or for delayed/nonunion healing.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed a Salter-Harris Type II, as other types have different codes.
