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

This code signifies a specific type of elbow fracture affecting the right arm, where the olecranon process (the bony tip of the elbow) is broken and the fracture extends into the joint space. It further specifies that this is a complex open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters of a patient with a previously diagnosed right olecranon fracture that was initially an open fracture of severe type (IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and is now presenting with evidence of nonunion. This is used when the patient is receiving active treatment for the nonunion or complications related to it.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right ulna," "olecranon process," and "intraarticular extension."
• Verify the original fracture was classified as an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and that nonunion is explicitly documented.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the ongoing management of the nonunion, not the initial treatment.
