Sltr-haris Type III physl fx low end ulna, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture at the lower end of the right ulna, classified as Salter-Harris Type III. This type involves a fracture extending through the physis and epiphysis, but not the metaphysis. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type III physeal fracture of the right distal ulna is presenting with evidence of delayed healing. This would include situations where the fracture is not uniting within the expected timeframe, requiring continued management or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right arm" and "lower end of ulna" for anatomical specificity.
• The "G" seventh character is crucial and indicates delayed healing during a subsequent encounter.
• Verify that the fracture type is explicitly documented as Salter-Harris Type III.
