Disp fx of r ulna styloid pro, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the right ulna that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is in the phase of recovery where the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the treatment involves non-surgical management.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right ulnar styloid fracture that was initially displaced but is now healing routinely. This is appropriate for subsequent visits where the fracture is being monitored for expected progression of bone union.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the ulnar styloid process and on the right side.
• Verify documentation indicates routine healing of a closed fracture.
