Nondisp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn r ulna, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the olecranon process of the right ulna, where the fracture did not extend into the elbow joint. It indicates that the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the patient is experiencing ongoing effects or complications related to the prior fracture.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a sequela (e.g., chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion) directly attributable to a previously sustained nondisplaced olecranon fracture of the right ulna without intraarticular extension. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters after the initial healing period.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., M25.521 for pain in right elbow).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the fracture was nondisplaced and did not involve the joint surface.
• This "S" seventh character indicates sequela and should only be used for conditions that are residual effects of a past injury.
