Nondisp fx of r radial styloid pro, 7thF

This code signifies a fracture of the right radial styloid process that has not shifted from its anatomical position. It specifically applies during the healing phase following an initial open fracture of a severe nature (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC), where the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed open fracture of the right radial styloid, and the fracture is now nondisplaced and healing routinely. This indicates the patient is past the initial acute treatment phase and is in the recovery period.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right radial styloid process."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC" and that healing is "routine."
• This code requires a 7th character "F" for subsequent encounter with routine healing.
