Disp fx of r ulna styloid pro, 7thN

This code signifies a nonunion of a displaced fracture of the styloid process of the right ulna. It specifically applies when the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for the nonunion.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed nonunion of a right ulnar styloid fracture. This includes scenarios such as continued monitoring, evaluation for surgical intervention, or non-surgical management of the established nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" of the fracture.
• Verify the initial fracture was an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC to justify the specificity of this code.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
