Disp fx of unsp ulna styloid pro, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the ulna that is no longer in its anatomical position. The injury is being managed in a subsequent encounter, and the fracture has not healed within the expected timeframe, despite the skin remaining intact over the fracture site.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a displaced ulnar styloid fracture that was initially treated conservatively (non-surgically) and is now showing signs of delayed union. This applies to situations where the fracture site is still covered by skin, and the patient is continuing treatment for the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "delayed healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the ulnar styloid process, not another part of the ulna or radius.
