ICD-10-CMUnspecified fracture of shaft of right ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture of the shaft of their right ulna, but the specific type of fracture (e.g., transverse, oblique) is not documented. This particular encounter is a follow-up for an open fracture (where the skin was broken) that is not healing as expected, specifically an open fracture classified as Type I or II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.
Use this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a right ulnar shaft fracture that was initially open (Type I or II) and is now exhibiting delayed healing. This would apply to follow-up visits where the physician is monitoring the healing process and addressing the delayed union.
