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

This code signifies a past injury involving a break in the olecranon process (the bony tip of the elbow) of an unspecified ulna, where the bone fragments were out of alignment but the fracture did not extend into the joint. The "sequela" designation indicates that this code is used for conditions that are residual effects or complications of the original fracture, long after the initial healing phase.

Apply this code when documenting a chronic condition, deformity, or functional impairment directly resulting from a previously sustained, displaced olecranon fracture without intraarticular extension of an unspecified ulna. This would be used for follow-up care related to the long-term consequences of the injury, not the initial treatment.

• Always ensure the "S" seventh character is appropriate for sequelae, indicating a late effect of the injury.
• Confirm that the fracture was explicitly documented as displaced and without intraarticular extension.
• If the laterality (left or right) of the ulna is known, a more specific code should be selected.
