S52.614Q
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of right ulna styloid process, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion
This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the right ulna that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for a fracture that was initially classified as an open fracture type I or II, and has subsequently healed improperly, resulting in a malunion.
Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously sustained right ulnar styloid fracture that was open and has now healed with a deformity. This would apply to scenarios such as physical therapy for range of motion limitations due to the malunion, or surgical planning for corrective osteotomy. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial treatment of the acute fracture.
