Torus fracture of lower end of right ulna, init for clos fx

This code signifies a buckle or torus fracture affecting the distal portion of the right ulna. This type of fracture is characterized by a compression injury that causes the bone cortex to buckle or bulge without a complete break, often seen in pediatric patients.

This code is appropriate for the initial treatment of a right ulnar torus fracture, typically diagnosed after a fall onto an outstretched hand. It is used when the skin over the fracture site remains intact, indicating a closed injury.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "torus" or "buckle" fracture of the ulna.
• Verify laterality (right ulna) and the encounter type (initial) are clearly documented.
• Do not use this code for complete fractures or open fractures of the ulna.
