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

This code signifies a right radius fracture where the bone has healed in an abnormal alignment (malunion) following an initial open fracture of Type I or II. The "bent bone" indicates a deformity resulting from this improper healing.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained an open Type I or II fracture of the right radius and now presents with a clinically evident malunion. This would typically be used for ongoing management, assessment of functional limitations, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "right radius."
• Verify the original fracture was an open Type I or II, as this code is specific to those types.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the malunion, not the initial fracture treatment.
