Torus fx lower end of r radius, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a buckle or torus fracture affecting the lower portion of the right radius, which is a common injury in children. It indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and the healing process is not progressing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed torus fracture of the right distal radius is being treated for delayed union. This includes situations where imaging shows incomplete healing beyond the typical timeframe or clinical assessment suggests persistent symptoms related to the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for the torus fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the lower end of the right radius.
