Disp fx of r radial styloid pro, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the right radial styloid process that is out of alignment. It specifically applies when the bone has broken through the skin (open fracture type I or II) and the patient is in a later stage of care where the fracture is healing as expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right radial styloid. This applies when the patient is undergoing routine follow-up care and the fracture is progressing toward healing without complications.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "right radial styloid process."
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and the healing is "routine."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II."
