S52.612H Displaced fracture of left ulna styloid process, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing

Billable ICD-10-CM code, FY2026.

Built from S52.612 with 7th character H (subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing).

Applies from S52 Fracture of forearm

Excludes1 (never code together)

• traumatic amputation of forearm (S58.-)

Excludes2 (not included here)

• fracture at wrist and hand level (S62.-)
• periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic elbow joint (M97.4)

7th character note

• The appropriate 7th character is to be added to all codes from category S52

Notes

• A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
• A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
• The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification

7th character required

• A — initial encounter for closed fracture
• B — initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
• C — initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
• D — subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
• E — subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
• F — subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
• G — subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
• H — subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
• J — subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing
• K — subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
• M — subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
• N — subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunion
• P — subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion
• Q — subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion
• R — subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with malunion
• S — sequela
