Nondisp fx of r radial styloid pro, 7thM

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the right radial styloid process that has failed to heal properly, specifically in a subsequent encounter for an open fracture initially classified as Type I or II. Nonunion indicates that the bone ends have not united after a sufficient healing period.

This code is appropriate when documenting ongoing care for a patient with a previously treated open fracture (Type I or II) of the right radial styloid process that is now complicated by nonunion. It should be used for follow-up visits, evaluations, or treatments related to this specific nonunion.

• Always verify the initial open fracture type (I or II) from the patient's history.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right radial styloid process.
• This code requires an additional code for any associated external cause or activity if applicable.
