S52.124M
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of head of right radius, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
This code signifies a fracture of the head of the right radius that has not shifted from its original position, meaning the bone fragments are still aligned. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for an open fracture (where the skin was broken) classified as Type I or II, and the fracture is failing to heal properly (nonunion).
This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a patient with a previously sustained open fracture of the right radial head that is now complicated by nonunion. It would be used during subsequent clinic visits, follow-up imaging, or when planning further interventions for the nonunion.
