Disp fx of olecran pro w intartic extn r ulna, 7thB

This code describes a fracture of the prominent bony tip of the elbow (olecranon process) on the right arm, where the broken bone fragments are not aligned and extend into the elbow joint. This specific injury is an open fracture, meaning the skin is broken, and is classified as Type I or II according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification.

Use this code for initial encounters when documenting an open, displaced fracture of the right olecranon with intraarticular involvement. This typically occurs due to direct trauma to the elbow, such as falls or sports injuries, where the bone has pierced the skin or there is a wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displaced" and "intraarticular extension" for the olecranon fracture.
• Verify the laterality is "right" and the encounter is "initial" for this specific code.
• Confirm the open fracture type is explicitly documented as Type I or II to support code assignment.
