Disp fx of head of unsp rad, 7thM

This code signifies a fracture of the radial head that is no longer in its anatomical position, specifically when the bone has broken through the skin (open fracture type I or II). The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced open radial head fracture (Type I or II) is being treated for a nonunion. This would include scenarios such as surgical intervention for nonunion or ongoing conservative management of the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies a displaced fracture of the radial head and an open fracture type I or II.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care and explicitly states nonunion as the reason for the ongoing treatment.
• Confirm the laterality (left or right) is not specified in the documentation, necessitating the "unspecified" designation.
