Disp fx of head of unsp rad, 7thH

This code signifies a displaced fracture of the radial head, which is the top portion of the radius bone in the forearm, that was initially an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken). The patient is now in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, indicating that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed open, displaced radial head fracture (Type I or II) is being managed for slow or incomplete bone union. This applies after initial treatment and during ongoing monitoring for healing progression.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "open fracture type I or II" for the initial injury.
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent care" and explicitly notes "delayed healing."
• Do not use for initial treatment or for routine follow-up without delayed healing.
