ICD-10-CMOther physeal fracture of lower end of ulna, right arm, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture affecting the growth plate (physis) at the lower end of the right ulna, which is not further specified as Salter-Harris types I-IV. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to unite.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a right ulnar physeal fracture that is not a Salter-Harris type I-IV, and the physician explicitly notes delayed healing. This would be used after the initial treatment phase, during ongoing management of the fracture.
