Nondisp fx of neck of right radius, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the neck of the right radius bone, specifically one where the bone fragments have not shifted out of alignment. It indicates that the skin over the fracture is intact (closed fracture) and this is the first time the patient is being treated for this injury.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right radial neck, such as from a fall onto an outstretched hand. It is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is identified and treatment begins.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right radius neck" to support this code.
• The "A" suffix indicates an initial encounter for a closed fracture; use subsequent encounter codes for follow-up care.
• Verify the fracture is indeed closed; open fractures require different coding.
