A displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of the ulna, or the larger of the two bones in the forearm, is a type of fracture in which the bone breaks into multiple pieces. This type of fracture is typically caused by a high-force, direct impact, such as a fall or a motor vehicle accident, and involves a considerable amount of trauma to the arm.
When this type of fracture occurs, it is usually accompanied by a considerable amount of pain, swelling, and deformity around the fracture site. In some cases, the fracture may be so severe that the bone fragments could become displaced, requiring medical attention and sometimes surgery.
A subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion is an appointment with a doctor or healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment of a fracture that has not healed properly. This type of fracture occurs when the bones fail to unite or heal in the normal amount of time. Nonunion fractures are typically more difficult to heal than union fractures and may require a longer recovery time.
During a subsequent encounter for a nonunion fracture, a doctor or healthcare provider may evaluate the fracture site to assess the extent of the injury. X-rays or other imaging tests may be performed to determine the extent of the injury and to determine the best course of treatment. Treatment options may include physical therapy, bracing, or surgery.
