S59.201D
ICD-10-CMUnspecified physeal fracture of lower end of radius, right arm, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
This code describes an unspecified growth plate fracture at the distal end of the right radius that is currently in the routine healing phase. The "unspecified" nature indicates that the specific type of physeal fracture (e.g., Salter-Harris type) was not documented.
This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving routine care for a previously diagnosed, unspecified physeal fracture of the right distal radius. It signifies that the fracture is progressing as expected without complications.
