Displ spiral fx shaft of ulna, r arm, 7thE

This code signifies a right arm injury involving a spiral fracture of the ulna's shaft, where the bone fragments are no longer aligned. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for an open fracture (Type I or II) that is now healing routinely without complications.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a follow-up visit after initial treatment of an open spiral fracture of the right ulnar shaft, where the fracture was displaced and is now showing expected progress towards healing. This applies when the initial open fracture was classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "spiral fracture of shaft of ulna" for the right arm.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and that the open fracture is healing routinely.
• Verify the initial open fracture was documented as Type I or II.
