Displaced spiral fracture of shaft of ulna, right arm, init

This code signifies a break in the ulna bone, specifically a spiral fracture of the shaft, which has shifted out of its normal alignment. The injury is located in the right arm and is an initial presentation where the skin remains intact over the fracture site.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, closed spiral fracture of the right ulnar shaft that shows displacement on imaging. This is appropriate for the initial treatment or evaluation of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right arm" and "ulna" to differentiate from other forearm fractures.
• Confirm the fracture is "displaced" and "spiral" as these are key specificities for this code.
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of this specific fracture.
