Nondisp fx of r radial styloid pro, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the right radial styloid process that was initially nondisplaced, but has failed to heal properly and is now in a state of nonunion. The fracture is currently closed, meaning the skin over the injury remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose right radial styloid fracture, previously nondisplaced, is not uniting as expected. This includes scenarios where surgical intervention for nonunion is being planned or has been performed, or when conservative management for nonunion is ongoing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right radial styloid process.
• Verify the fracture was initially nondisplaced and is currently closed.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter code would be used for the initial diagnosis.
