You could use 729.5 for pain in a limb plus V67.4 which is for treatment of a healed fracture.
99396 is a CPT code, not an ICD9 code. The ICD9 code you use will depend on the condition or reason for the visit.
V70.0
An old fracture may not show up on a bone scan if it has completely healed with no active inflammation or increased metabolic activity present at the site. The presence of old breaks on a bone scan largely depends on the healing process and the resolution of any previous damage to the bone.
I don't know the specific definition but a remote fracture is one that is not fresh. As in an old fracture. There is probably a rule that it is >6 month or >1 year or something.
If the 12 year old has had the piercing for over a year, chances are good it's healed. If it was done by a piercing gun, then it could still be healing.
