Sltr-haris Type I physl fx upr end rad, r arm, 7thP

This code describes a Salter-Harris Type I fracture affecting the growth plate at the upper end of the right radius, specifically when the fracture has healed in a misaligned position. This indicates a complication of healing where the bone fragments have united but with an unacceptable degree of angulation, rotation, or shortening.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture of the right proximal radius is being managed due to malunion. This includes visits for assessment of the malunion, planning for corrective procedures, or ongoing conservative management of the malaligned healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication of healing for the right radial physeal fracture.
• Verify the fracture type is Salter-Harris Type I and the location is the upper end of the radius.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
