Bent bone of left ulna, init encntr for closed fracture

This code signifies a fracture of the left ulna where the bone has bent or buckled, but the skin remains intact. This type of fracture is often seen in younger patients due to the bone's elasticity.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a closed, bent bone fracture of the left ulna. This would be used when the patient first presents for evaluation and management of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" ulna and "bent bone" or "buckle" fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial" one for this specific injury.
• Verify the fracture is "closed" with no open wound communicating with the fracture site.
