Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r ulna, 7thG

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a break across the width of the shaft of their right ulna, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture, though previously treated without surgery, is not healing as expected within the typical timeframe.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with a non-displaced transverse ulnar shaft fracture (right arm) is being monitored for delayed union. This includes appointments for cast changes, imaging to assess healing progress, or clinical evaluations indicating the fracture is taking longer than anticipated to mend.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the right ulna.
• Verify the fracture is transverse and nondisplaced, and that this is not the initial treatment encounter.
• Confirm laterality (right ulna) is clearly documented.
