S52.261A
ICD-10-CMDisplaced segmental fracture of shaft of ulna, right arm, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a break in the shaft of the right ulna, specifically a segmental fracture where a piece of bone is detached. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not properly aligned, and it is a closed fracture, indicating the skin is not broken.
Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a right ulna shaft fracture that is confirmed to be segmental and displaced. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the fracture is diagnosed and/or definitive treatment is initiated.
