S52.025E
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of olecranon process without intraarticular extension of left ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient with a non-displaced fracture of the olecranon (the bony prominence of the elbow) on the left side, which did not extend into the joint. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and is now healing routinely.
Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a healing left olecranon fracture that was initially an open Type I or II injury and is not displaced or intra-articular. This applies when the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.
