Nondisp seg fx shaft of rad, r arm, 7thH

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture affecting a segment of the shaft of the right radius, which was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The patient is currently in a later stage of care, and the fracture is exhibiting delayed healing.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a right radial shaft fracture that was initially open and is now showing signs of delayed union. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the focus is on managing the ongoing healing process of this specific type of fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced," "segmental," "shaft of radius," and "right arm."
• Verify the initial fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
