Nondisp fx of head of r radius, subs for clos fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the head of the right radius that has not shifted from its anatomical position, but is failing to heal properly. The fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact over the injury site. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this nonunion.

Use this code for a patient presenting for subsequent treatment of a right radial head fracture that was initially nondisplaced, but is now demonstrating signs of nonunion (e.g., persistent pain, instability, lack of callus formation on imaging). This applies to office visits, follow-up imaging, or other interventions related to the ongoing management of the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "nonunion" for the right radial head.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and not initial care for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" and not an open fracture.
