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

This code signifies a fracture of the olecranon process of the right ulna that extends into the elbow joint, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing despite initial treatment.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced intraarticular olecranon fracture of the right ulna is being monitored for healing, and the physician notes that the healing process is taking longer than expected. This applies to situations where the fracture has been managed non-surgically or post-reduction of a displaced fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "intraarticular extension" for the right ulna.
• The "G" seventh character indicates delayed healing; confirm this is clearly documented by the physician.
• Verify this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
