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

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate at the distal end of the ulna, where the fracture extends through the physis and into the metaphysis. The "unspecified arm" indicates the laterality is not documented. The "subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion" specifies that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and it has failed to heal properly.

Use this code for follow-up visits or ongoing treatment for a Salter-Harris Type II physeal fracture of the distal ulna that has been diagnosed with nonunion. This applies when the physician is managing the nonunion, such as discussing surgical intervention, monitoring healing progress, or providing conservative management for the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture type is specifically Salter-Harris Type II and located at the distal ulna.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
