Diaphyseal fractures can be divided into three groups comprising the basic types of fractures: fractures of both bones (radius and ulna), fracture dislocations, i.e., fractures of one of the bones accompanied by dislocation of the head of the other bone in the respective radioulnar joint, the Galeazzi fracture or the ...
The forearm consists of two bones, the radius and the ulna, with the ulna is located on the pinky side and the radius on your thumb side.

The "Distal Ulna" anatomically includes the Ulnar Head (of which the Styloid Process is a part of the original Epiphysis) and Neck, which are the residual of the Distal Ulnar Epiphyseal growth in adults, and would be considered the Metaphysis. The Ulnar Neck is only a few millimeters in length.
The Distal Ulna just gets no respect. As to your dilemma regarding the coding of open treatment of the Distal Ulna Fracture, but not the Ulnar Styloid, if the fracture is through the neck (+/- into the Head), you are right there is no procedural code.
Fractures of the Distal Radius can and do occur in isolation, but an associated fracture of the Distal Ulna is very common, probably 99.0% involve the Ulnar Styloid, which can be displaced or non-displaced.
