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

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type I fracture affecting the growth plate at the lower end of the right ulna, which has failed to heal properly. This specific type of physeal fracture involves a complete separation of the epiphysis from the metaphysis through the growth plate itself. The "subsequent encounter" indicates ongoing treatment for this nonunion.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type I fracture of the distal right ulnar physis that has not united. This would include scenarios where further interventions, such as surgical revision or continued conservative management for the nonunion, are being performed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically Salter-Harris Type I and located at the lower end of the right ulna.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
