Nondisp fx of head of unsp rad, 7thG

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the radial head that was initially nondisplaced. The key clinical feature is that the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, indicating delayed union. This implies ongoing medical management and monitoring of the healing process.

Use this code when a patient presents for a follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced radial head fracture, and the physician documents delayed healing of the closed fracture. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment, where the fracture has not yet fully united.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is of the radial head and was initially nondisplaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
