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

This code describes a specific type of right elbow fracture involving the olecranon process of the ulna, which extends into the joint but remains nondisplaced. It indicates that the initial injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and that the patient is currently in a phase of delayed healing following the initial treatment.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a right olecranon fracture that was initially open, has intraarticular extension, is currently nondisplaced, and is not healing at the expected rate. This applies to situations where the fracture site is still open or has been surgically closed but is experiencing delayed union or nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" ulna and "nondisplaced" fracture with "intraarticular extension."
• Verify the initial fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" and that healing is "delayed."
• This is a subsequent encounter code; do not use for initial treatment.
