Displ transverse fx shaft of r ulna, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the shaft of the right ulna that is displaced and has broken through the skin (open fracture type I or II). It specifically indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of treatment, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed open, displaced transverse ulnar shaft fracture of the right arm. This applies when the healing process is not progressing as expected, requiring continued medical intervention or monitoring.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for subsequent encounters.
• Verify the fracture type (open I or II) and laterality (right ulna).
• Do not use for initial encounters or if healing is progressing normally.
