Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end rad, r arm, 7thK

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the lower part of the right radius bone. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "nonunion" means the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a reasonable period.

Use this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a right distal radius Salter-Harris Type II fracture that has not healed. This would apply to scenarios such as follow-up appointments for casting, bracing, or surgical planning due to the persistent nonunion. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment where nonunion is being addressed.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the right distal radius.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and explicitly mentions nonunion of the fracture.
• Do not use this code for initial fracture treatment or for encounters where the fracture is healing normally.
