Nondisp transverse fx shaft of r ulna, 7thR

This code signifies a transverse fracture of the shaft of the right ulna that has not been displaced. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) where the bone has healed in an incorrect anatomical position, leading to malunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a severe open transverse ulnar shaft fracture on the right side. This is appropriate when imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has healed with a deformity (malunion) and the patient is still receiving active treatment for this complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right ulna" and "transverse fracture" of the shaft.
• Verify that the original injury was an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
• Confirm that the current encounter is for a subsequent phase of care and that malunion is explicitly documented.
