What is ulna and radius?

The radius and ulna are long bones that make up the forearm, extending from the elbow to the wrist. In the anatomical position, the radius is found in the lateral forearm, while the ulna is found in the medial forearm.

What is distal ulna fracture?

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.

What is both bone forearm fracture?

The radius and ulna are the two long bones of the forearm that extend from the wrist to the elbow. When they both break, it is called a both-bone forearm fracture. This happens when a blow or fall on the arm puts so much stress on these bones that they break.

What is a right distal radius fracture?

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. It can also happen in a car accident, a bike accident, a skiing accident or another sports activity.

How do you code a fracture in ICD-10?

In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.

Where is the distal end of the radius?

The distal end of an intact radius extends beyond the distal end of the ulna. The joint surface is angulated 15 degrees toward the anterior (palmar) aspect of the wrist. After a Colles fracture, these relationships are reversed, and some degree of subluxation of the distal radioulnar joint is always present.

What is the CPT code for distal radius fracture?

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.
