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

This code signifies a right elbow injury involving a fracture of the olecranon process that has extended into the joint space, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. It indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific fracture, and the bone has failed to heal adequately.

Apply this code when documenting subsequent treatment for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced intraarticular olecranon fracture of the right ulna, and the physician's assessment confirms nonunion. This includes scenarios such as ongoing management, evaluation for surgical intervention due to nonunion, or conservative treatment for a non-healing fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right ulna) and the displaced nature of the fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
