Nondisp fx of unsp ulna styloid pro, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the ulna that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of healing, and the fracture has healed improperly, resulting in a malunion, but the skin over the fracture remains intact.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced ulnar styloid fracture that has healed with an undesirable alignment. This would be used during subsequent visits where the malunion is being monitored or addressed, and the fracture is closed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the ulna styloid process.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "closed."
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
