Nondisp fx of olecran pro w intartic extn r ulna, 7thD

Nondisplaced fracture of olecranon process with intraarticular extension of right ulna, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a fracture of the right elbow's olecranon process that extends into the joint space, but where the bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. The patient is in a follow-up phase, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced intraarticular olecranon fracture of the right ulna is receiving routine follow-up care. This includes situations where the fracture is progressing well and no new complications or treatments are indicated beyond standard healing protocols.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "intraarticular extension" for the olecranon fracture.
Confirm the encounter is for routine follow-up during the healing phase, indicated by the 7th character "D".
Verify the laterality is explicitly documented as "right ulna."
