S52.516D
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of unspecified radial styloid process, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
This code indicates a fracture of the radial styloid process that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This specific code is used during the healing phase of a closed fracture, where the skin is intact and the healing process is proceeding as expected without complications.
Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a nondisplaced radial styloid fracture that was previously treated and is now healing routinely. This includes appointments for cast changes, wound checks (if applicable to the initial injury, but not for open wounds), or general progress assessments during the typical recovery period for a closed fracture.
