ICD-10-CMBent bone of right ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
This code describes a right ulnar shaft fracture that has healed routinely after initial treatment, but the bone has a noticeable bend or angulation. It specifically applies to open fractures classified as Type I or Type II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.
Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who sustained an open Type I or II fracture of the right ulnar shaft, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms a bent bone deformity, but the fracture itself is healing as expected. This typically occurs during subsequent visits after the initial acute treatment phase.
