Nondisp fx of head of r rad, 7thQ

This code signifies a healing fracture of the radial head in the right arm that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has developed malunion. The fracture itself is currently nondisplaced, indicating the bone fragments are in their correct anatomical alignment at this stage of healing. The malunion component means the bone has healed, but in an imperfect or deformed position.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously sustained open fracture of the right radial head that has healed with malunion. This applies when the fracture itself is no longer displaced, but the healing process has resulted in an anatomical deformity. It is appropriate for ongoing management of the malunion, even if the acute fracture treatment is complete.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "right radius" and "head" to differentiate from other forearm fractures.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "malunion" is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use for the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
