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

This code signifies a spiral fracture of the shaft of the right ulna that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing despite being a closed injury.

This code is used when a patient presents for follow-up care of a right ulnar shaft fracture, and imaging or clinical assessment indicates that the fracture, though initially closed and non-displaced, is not healing at the expected rate. It would be appropriate for office visits, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions related to the ongoing management of this specific fracture with delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is the shaft of the ulna and laterality is the right arm.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
