Nondisp oblique fx shaft of r ulna, 7thH

This code signifies a right ulnar shaft fracture that is oblique and has not shifted out of alignment, which was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed open, nondisplaced oblique fracture of the right ulnar shaft is being treated for delayed union. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type I or II.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced," "oblique," and "shaft" for the right ulna.
• Verify the initial fracture was an open fracture (Type I or II) and that the current encounter is for delayed healing.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
