Disp fx of olecran pro w intartic extn right ulna, init

This code signifies a break in the olecranon process (the bony prominence of the elbow) of the right ulna, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned and the fracture extends into the elbow joint. It specifically indicates that this is the first time the fracture is being treated, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for initial encounters with patients presenting with a right elbow injury confirmed by imaging to be a displaced olecranon fracture with intra-articular involvement and no open wound. This is appropriate for the initial surgical repair, casting, or other definitive treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "intra-articular extension" for the right ulna.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (no open wound) and that this is the "initial encounter" for treatment.
• Distinguish from non-displaced or extra-articular olecranon fractures, which have different codes.
