Nondisp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn l ulna, 7thP

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a left elbow fracture involving the olecranon process, which is the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow. The fracture did not extend into the joint and is currently healing in a misaligned position (malunion) without an open wound.

Use this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously treated, non-displaced olecranon fracture of the left ulna that is now complicated by malunion. This applies to situations where the fracture is closed and the patient is past the initial healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left ulna" and "olecranon process" to support this specific site.
• Confirm the fracture is described as "nondisplaced" and "without intraarticular extension."
• Verify the encounter is for a "subsequent encounter" and the fracture is "closed" with evidence of "malunion."
