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

This code describes a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type IV) affecting the lower end of the ulna bone in the right arm. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed right ulnar Salter-Harris Type IV physeal fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes visits for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or assessment of continued progress toward union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right arm" and "ulna" to support laterality and bone specificity.
• Verify the Salter-Harris classification (Type IV) is clearly documented by the physician.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing; use different codes for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
