S52.001C
ICD-10-CMUnspecified fracture of upper end of right ulna, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
This code signifies an unspecified fracture located at the proximal (upper) end of the right ulna. It specifically indicates that the fracture is an open fracture, classified as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and is being treated for the first time.
This code is appropriate for initial encounters where a patient presents with an open fracture of the right olecranon or coronoid process, and the specific fracture pattern (e.g., transverse, oblique) is not documented. It should be used when the Gustilo-Anderson classification for the open fracture is clearly documented as type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC.
