Bent bone of r radius, subs for opn fx type I/2 w delay heal

This code describes a deformity of the right radius bone, specifically a "bent" or malaligned fracture, that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The patient is currently in a subsequent phase of treatment, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a right radial fracture that has healed with a noticeable bend or angulation, and the original injury was an open fracture. This code is appropriate when the healing process is taking longer than expected.

• Ensure documentation specifies "bent bone" or a similar description of malunion/deformity of the radius.
• Verify the original fracture was an open fracture, Type I or II, and that the encounter is for subsequent care.
• Confirm delayed healing is explicitly documented by the provider.
