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

This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the olecranon, the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow, on the right arm. The fracture extends into the elbow joint itself and has healed in an imperfect alignment, known as a malunion. This indicates a follow-up visit for ongoing management of this specific complication.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is being evaluated or treated for a malunion of a right olecranon fracture that involved the joint. This includes visits for assessing function, pain management, or planning for corrective procedures related to the malunion. It should be used after the initial treatment of the fracture has concluded.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right ulna" and "olecranon process with intraarticular extension."
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and the fracture is "closed" with "malunion."
• Do not use for initial treatment or for non-union, which is a separate complication.
