S52.031M
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of olecranon process with intraarticular extension of right ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
This code signifies a non-healing fracture of the olecranon process of the right ulna, which extends into the elbow joint. It specifically indicates that the bone fragments are not properly aligned (displaced) and that this is a follow-up encounter for an initial open fracture of either Type I or II severity.
Apply this code for patients presenting with a documented nonunion of a displaced intra-articular olecranon fracture of the right ulna, following surgical or non-surgical management of an initial open injury. This is appropriate when the patient is still receiving active treatment for the nonunion.
