S52.019G
ICD-10-CMTorus fracture of upper end of unspecified ulna, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code describes a torus (buckle) fracture located at the upper portion of the ulna bone, where the bone has compressed rather than fully broken. The "G" suffix indicates that this encounter is for a fracture that is not healing at the expected rate.
Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed torus fracture of the proximal ulna is experiencing delayed healing. This applies when the fracture is still present and not fully consolidated, requiring continued medical management.
