ICD-10 S52.614S is a billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of nondisplaced fracture of right ulna styloid process, sequela. The code is valid for the year 2019 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
What You Need to Know
Surgery for Distal Radius Fractures This option is usually for fractures that are considered unstable or can’t be treated with a cast. Surgery is typically performed through an incision over the volar aspect of your wrist (where you feel your pulse). This allows full access to the break.
It is commonly known as the Ulna. The fracture of the ulna extends from the distal tip going all the way up to the styloid base. If there is no displacement during the fracture, this fracture may go unnoticed in an X-ray. If the fracture has been caused near the base, then it may make the distal radio-ulnar joint unstable.
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified fracture of shaft of right ulna- S52. 201- Codify by AAPC.
A distal ulna fracture, or isolated ulnar shaft fracture, is a type of fracture that occurs along the length of the ulna bone, which is one of the two bones in the forearm.

The lateral, distal end of the ulna is the head of the ulna. It articulates with the ulnar notch on the radius and with the triangular articular disc in the Wrist Joint.
The radius is the bone on the thumb side and the ulna is the bone on the little finger side. People may break both of these bones when they trip and hold an arm out to stop the fall. The distal (closest to the hand) part of the bones are most likely to be injured.
ICD-10 code S52. 5 for Fracture of lower end of radius is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
The ulna (pl. ulnae or ulnas) is a long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger, and when in anatomical position, is found on the medial side of the forearm. It runs parallel to the radius, the other long bone in the forearm.
pinky sideThe 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 radius is one of two forearm bones and is located on the thumb side. The part of the radius connected to the wrist joint is called the distal radius. When the radius breaks near the wrist, it is called a distal radius fracture. The break usually happens due to falling on an outstretched or flexed hand.
CPT® 25605 in section: Closed treatment of distal radial fracture (eg, Colles or Smith type) or epiphyseal separation, includes closed treatment of fracture of ulnar styloid, when performed.
