Disp fx of r ulna styloid pro, 7thM

This code signifies a right ulna styloid process fracture that is no longer in its anatomical position, and the patient is currently receiving care for a complication of nonunion. This specific nonunion is occurring in a fracture that was initially classified as an open fracture type I or II, indicating a break in the skin with minimal to moderate soft tissue damage.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing treatment for a patient whose previously sustained right ulna styloid fracture, initially open (Type I or II), has failed to heal properly. This includes scenarios where surgical intervention for nonunion is being planned or performed, or when conservative management for the nonunion is continuing. It is appropriate for follow-up visits after the initial treatment of the open fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the initial open fracture type (I or II).
• Verify the fracture is of the right ulna styloid process and is explicitly described as "displaced."
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
