ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of olecranon process with intraarticular extension of right ulna, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
This code signifies a fracture of the right elbow's olecranon process that extends into the joint, but the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position. The injury is currently in a healing phase following initial treatment, but the fracture has failed to unite.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously treated, non-displaced, intra-articular olecranon fracture of the right ulna that has not healed properly. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing continued conservative management or preparing for surgical intervention due to nonunion.
