Nondisp spiral fx shaft of ulna, r arm, 7thB

This code describes a fracture of the ulna bone in the right forearm, specifically a spiral break along the shaft, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that the skin was broken at the time of injury, but the wound is relatively clean and small (Type I or II open fracture).

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right ulnar shaft fracture that is both spiral in nature and nondisplaced, and where the injury involved a low-energy open wound. This would typically be documented as an open fracture type I or II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "spiral" morphology of the ulnar shaft fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is on the "right arm" and is an "initial encounter" for treatment.
• Verify the open fracture type is clearly documented as I or II; otherwise, a different open fracture code may be necessary.
