Sltr-haris Type III physl fx low end rad, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type III) at the distal end of the right radius, indicating that the fracture line extends through the physis and epiphysis. The "G" suffix denotes that this is a follow-up encounter where the fracture is not healing as expected, requiring continued medical attention.

Apply this code for subsequent visits for a right distal radial Salter-Harris Type III fracture that has been identified as having delayed healing. This would include scenarios where the patient is undergoing ongoing treatment, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or imaging to monitor the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the "G" suffix.
• Verify the fracture type is explicitly Salter-Harris Type III and located at the lower end of the right radius.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
