Disp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn right ulna, init

This code signifies a break in the prominent bony projection at the tip of the right elbow (olecranon process) that has shifted out of its normal alignment. Importantly, the fracture does not extend into the elbow joint itself, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for initial encounters involving a patient presenting with a closed, displaced fracture of the right olecranon process where imaging confirms no involvement of the articular surface. This is typically seen after direct trauma to the elbow, such as a fall onto a bent arm.

• Confirm laterality (right ulna) and the absence of intraarticular extension from imaging reports.
• Ensure the "A" seventh character is used only for the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Distinguish from non-displaced fractures or those involving the joint surface, which have different codes.
