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

This code describes a fracture of the ulna bone in the right forearm that is broken in at least two places along its shaft, but the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. The skin over the fracture site is broken, exposing the bone, and the wound is relatively clean with minimal soft tissue damage (Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II open fracture).

Apply this code for patients presenting with a right ulnar shaft fracture that is nondisplaced and segmental, and where the initial assessment confirms an open fracture classified as Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II. This code is specifically for the initial treatment phase of such an injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "segmental" and "nondisplaced" for the ulnar shaft fracture.
• Confirm the open fracture type (Gustilo-Anderson I or II) is clearly documented by the physician.
• This "B" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the open fracture.
