Disp fx of head of r rad, 7thM

This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the radial head in the right arm, which was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now being treated during a follow-up visit. The fracture fragments are not in their proper anatomical alignment.

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing management of a right radial head fracture that has failed to unite, where the initial injury involved an open wound communicating with the fracture site. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nonunion" and "displaced" for the radial head fracture.
• Confirm the initial injury was an open fracture, specifically Type I or II.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; use the appropriate initial encounter code for the first visit.
