Nondisp fx of r ulna styloid pro, 7thE

This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the right ulna that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The injury was an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) classified as type I or II, and the patient is now receiving follow-up care during the routine healing phase.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right ulnar styloid process. It indicates that the healing process is progressing as expected without complications. This would apply to office visits, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the routine recovery period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right ulna styloid process."
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "routine."
• This code requires an additional code for the type of open fracture (e.g., S52.614B for initial encounter).
