ICD-10-CMBent bone of right ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code describes a fracture of the right ulna, specifically a bent bone, that was initially an open fracture of either Type I or Type II. The patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to unite.
This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed open Type I or II fracture of the right ulna (bent bone) is being monitored for healing progress, and that progress is slower than anticipated. It indicates ongoing management of the fracture's delayed union.
