Nondisplaced fracture of neck of right radius, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a previous nondisplaced fracture of the neck of the right radius. It indicates that the fracture itself is no longer acute, but the patient is experiencing ongoing effects or complications directly attributable to that past injury. These sequelae could include chronic pain, limited range of motion, deformity, or other long-term issues.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter where the primary reason for the visit is to address a long-term complication or residual effect of a previously sustained nondisplaced fracture of the neck of the right radius. This applies to situations where the initial fracture treatment is complete, and the current focus is on managing the chronic aftermath. Do not use for the initial treatment of the acute fracture.

• Always sequence this code after the code(s) for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., M25.531 for pain in right elbow).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past nondisplaced right radial neck fracture.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed "nondisplaced" and located in the "neck" of the "right radius" to ensure specificity.
