ICD-10-CMBent bone of right ulna, initial encounter for closed fracture
This code signifies a fracture of the right ulna where the bone has sustained a bending deformity without breaking the skin. It indicates the initial treatment for this specific type of closed ulnar fracture.
Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced or minimally displaced right ulnar fracture that exhibits a bent bone morphology on imaging, and the skin remains intact over the fracture site. This is appropriate for the initial encounter for treatment.
