Nondisp seg fx shaft of ulna, l arm, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture affecting a segment of the shaft of the left ulna, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate, but the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for patients presenting for subsequent care of a left ulnar shaft fracture that is documented as segmental and nondisplaced, and the physician notes delayed healing without an open wound. This is appropriate for office visits, cast changes, or imaging studies performed during the delayed healing period.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "segmental" and "nondisplaced" for the ulnar shaft fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the "delayed healing" status is clearly documented by the provider.
