Oth physl fx low end rad, r arm, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the growth plate (physis) at the distal end of the right radius, which is not further specified as Salter-Harris type I, II, III, or IV. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this injury, and the fracture is exhibiting delayed healing.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed, unspecified physeal fracture of the right distal radius. This is appropriate when documentation indicates the fracture is not healing at the expected rate. This code would be used for encounters such as cast changes, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy appointments related to the ongoing management of the delayed-healing fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is located at the lower end of the right radius and involves the physis.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
