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

This code describes a fracture of the right elbow's olecranon process that extends into the joint, is displaced, and was initially an open fracture (Type I or II). The patient is now in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing routinely.

This code is used for follow-up encounters for patients with a previously diagnosed open, displaced, intraarticular olecranon fracture of the right ulna. It specifically applies when the fracture is progressing as expected, without complications, and the initial injury was an open fracture classified as Type I or II.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right ulna" and "olecranon process with intraarticular extension."
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "routine" for subsequent encounters.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, nonunion, malunion, or delayed healing.
