Sltr-haris Type I physl fx low end ulna, r arm, 7thD

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type I fracture affecting the growth plate at the distal end of the right ulna. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right distal ulnar Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture. This is appropriate for encounters where the fracture is progressing routinely towards union, such as cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or routine physical therapy assessments during the healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies the right arm and a Salter-Harris Type I classification.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care with routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Verify laterality (right arm) is clearly documented to support code selection.
