Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end rad, l arm, 7thD

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the upper part of the left radius bone. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the proximal left radius is receiving routine follow-up care. This includes cast checks, physical therapy evaluations during the healing phase, or routine radiographic assessments confirming uncomplicated healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left arm" and "upper end of radius" for anatomical accuracy.
• Verify that the encounter is for routine healing and not for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion, which would require different subsequent encounter codes.
• Confirm the Salter-Harris type (Type II) is explicitly documented by the physician.
