Nondisp spiral fx shaft of ulna, unsp arm, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a spiral fracture of the ulna shaft, which is a break that twists around the bone. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment, and it is healing as expected without complications. The specific arm affected is not documented.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced spiral ulna shaft fracture is seen for routine follow-up, cast changes, or monitoring of expected healing progress. This applies when the fracture is healing well and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "spiral fracture of shaft of ulna."
• Confirm the encounter is for routine follow-up of a closed fracture with expected healing.
• Do not use if the fracture is displaced, open, or experiencing delayed/nonunion healing.
