Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end ulna, unsp arm, 7thD

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate at the distal end of the ulna. This specific type of physeal fracture involves a break through the physis and extending into the metaphysis, but not into the epiphysis.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II physeal fracture of the lower ulna is healing as expected. It indicates routine healing without complications, such as delayed union or nonunion, during the recovery phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for this specific fracture type.
• Verify the fracture location is the lower end of the ulna, not the radius or other bones.
• Do not use for initial encounters or encounters with documented complications in healing.
