Disp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn unsp ulna, 7thK

This code describes a specific type of elbow fracture involving the olecranon process of the ulna, which is displaced but does not extend into the joint. The fracture has not healed properly (nonunion) and the patient is presenting for a subsequent encounter for this closed fracture.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed olecranon fracture that is displaced, closed, and has developed a nonunion. This would include encounters for monitoring, cast changes, or planning further intervention for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "without intraarticular extension" for the olecranon fracture.
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and that "nonunion" is clearly documented as the complication.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" as open fractures would require a different seventh character.
