Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end ulna, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture at the lower end of the right ulna, classified as Salter-Harris Type II. This type of fracture involves the growth plate and a small piece of the metaphysis. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in the subsequent phase of treatment, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the distal right ulnar physis is being managed for delayed bone healing. This applies when the fracture has not healed within the expected timeframe. It is appropriate for ongoing care, including imaging, cast changes, or physical therapy related to the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is indeed Salter-Harris Type II and located at the lower end of the right ulna.
• Do not use for initial encounter or for fractures healing normally.
