Disp fx of neck of r radius, subs for clos fx w delay heal

This code signifies a break in the neck of the right radius bone that is no longer in its anatomical alignment, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care. At this subsequent encounter, the fracture is still closed (skin intact), but the healing process is taking longer than typically expected.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right radial neck fracture returns for an office visit, imaging, or other treatment, and the physician notes delayed healing of the closed fracture. This is appropriate for ongoing management of the fracture after initial treatment, but before full union has occurred.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "delayed healing" for the right radial neck.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture remains "closed" and there is no open wound communicating with the fracture site.
