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

This code signifies a fracture affecting the lower portion of the right radius, excluding specific types like Colles' or Smith's, that is currently in a healing phase but is not progressing at the expected rate. The fracture was initially treated without surgical intervention (closed reduction or conservative management).

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is presenting for follow-up care of a right distal radius fracture that was previously treated non-surgically, and the physician notes delayed union or prolonged healing. This would be used for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is the "lower end of the radius" and on the "right" side.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; do not use for the initial treatment of the fracture.
