Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r ulna, 7thB

This code describes a break across the shaft of the right ulna that has not shifted from its normal alignment. The fracture is open, meaning the bone has broken through the skin, and is classified as either Type I (minimal skin damage) or Type II (moderate skin damage) according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, non-displaced transverse fracture of the right ulnar shaft where the skin integrity has been compromised, and it is the initial treatment encounter. This would typically be used in emergency department or initial orthopedic consultation settings.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "transverse" morphology.
• Verify the Gustilo-Anderson classification of the open fracture (Type I or II) is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury.
