Nondisp fx of r radial styloid pro, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the right radius that is still in its original anatomical position, meaning the bone fragments have not shifted. The patient is in a later stage of recovery, and the fracture is taking longer than expected to heal without surgical intervention.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right radial styloid fracture is experiencing delayed healing. This applies when the fracture is being managed non-surgically (closed treatment) and the healing process is protracted.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the radial styloid process and on the right side.
• Confirm the fracture is nondisplaced; displaced fractures would require a different code.
