Displ spiral fx shaft of ulna, l arm, 7thD

This code signifies a left ulna shaft fracture that is spiral in nature and has experienced displacement. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing routinely without complications, managed non-surgically.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced spiral fracture of the left ulnar shaft is being monitored for routine healing. It would be used when the fracture is closed and progressing as expected without the need for additional intervention.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left arm" and "ulna shaft" to differentiate from other forearm fractures.
• Verify that the encounter is for routine healing of a closed fracture, not an open one or one with delayed/nonunion.
• Confirm the fracture type is explicitly documented as "displaced spiral" to support this specific code.
