Nondisp oblique fx shaft of unsp ulna, 7thH

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient with an oblique fracture of the shaft of the ulna, where the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and the healing process is progressing slower than expected.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent care for an open ulnar shaft fracture (Type I or II) that is not displaced, and the provider notes delayed healing during the encounter. This would be used for office visits, follow-up imaging, or other services related to the ongoing management of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "delayed healing" for this specific encounter.
• Verify the initial fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" to justify the 7th character.
• Confirm the fracture is of the "shaft of the ulna" and "nondisplaced."
