Bent bone of r ulna, subs for opn fx type I/2 w routn heal

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.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right ulna" and "bent bone" or "angulation" of the healed fracture.
• Confirm the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "routine."
• This code indicates a subsequent encounter, so it should not be used for the initial fracture treatment.
