Nondisp transverse fx shaft of l ulna, 7thH

This code signifies a specific type of fracture affecting the shaft of the left ulna, where the bone is broken straight across without displacement. It indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II), and the patient is now receiving care for delayed healing of this fracture.

Utilize this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed transverse fracture of the left ulnar shaft that was initially an open fracture. This applies when the healing process is not progressing as expected, requiring continued medical attention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "transverse" for the fracture type.
• Verify the initial fracture was classified as an open fracture (Type I or II) and that delayed healing is explicitly noted.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
