Nondisp fx of nk of r rad, 7thH

This code describes a fracture of the neck of the right radius that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) of type I or II, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right radial neck who is experiencing delayed healing. This applies to encounters after the initial treatment, such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions, where the delayed healing is being monitored or addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right radius neck."
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II."
• Confirm that the physician's notes explicitly state or imply "delayed healing."
