Nondisp fx of head of right radius, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the rounded upper part of the right radius bone, near the elbow, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. This injury is considered a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture site is intact. It represents the first time this specific injury is being treated.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the radial head in the right arm. This is appropriate for initial evaluation and management in the emergency department or an orthopedic clinic. It is used when there is no open wound communicating with the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "right" radius head.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; if open, a different seventh character would be required.
