S52.023E
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of olecranon process without intraarticular extension of unspecified ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
This code signifies a subsequent encounter for a patient who sustained a displaced fracture of the olecranon process, which is the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow, without the fracture extending into the joint. The initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type I or II, and the healing process is progressing routinely.
Use this code when documenting follow-up care for an open olecranon fracture (Type I or II) that was displaced but did not involve the joint surface, and the patient is experiencing expected healing. This applies to subsequent visits after the initial treatment of the open fracture.
