Nondisp fx of r ulna styloid pro, 7thH

This code signifies a nondisplaced fracture of the styloid process of the right ulna that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and is now in a subsequent phase of care with delayed healing. The fracture itself is stable, but the healing process is not progressing as expected for an open injury.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously open, nondisplaced right ulnar styloid fracture is experiencing delayed union or nonunion. This applies when the initial treatment has been rendered, and the focus is on managing the prolonged healing of the open injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right ulna styloid process."
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is explicitly noted as "delayed."
• This code requires an additional code for any associated external cause or activity if applicable.
