Oth fx shaft of rad, r arm, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code indicates a fracture of the shaft of the right radius that is not further specified as a Monteggia, Galeazzi, or Salter-Harris type. The patient is in the healing phase of a previously diagnosed closed fracture, and the healing process is progressing routinely.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a right radial shaft fracture is being monitored for routine healing of a closed injury. It would be used after the initial treatment of the fracture and during subsequent visits where no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit and not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is of the right radius shaft and is closed.
• Confirm that healing is progressing routinely and there are no complications requiring a different seventh character.
