Disp fx of head of unsp rad, subs for clos fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the radial head that is no longer in its anatomical alignment, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care. The initial injury was a closed fracture, meaning the skin was not broken, and the bone is not healing at the expected rate.

Use this code for a patient who previously sustained a displaced closed fracture of the radial head and is now being seen for ongoing management due to delayed healing. This applies to encounters after the initial treatment phase, where the fracture has not yet united.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "delayed healing" for a closed radial head fracture.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is of the radial head, not another part of the radius or ulna.
