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

This code signifies a right elbow injury involving a non-displaced fracture of the olecranon process, extending into the joint space. It specifically indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (Type I or II) that has not healed properly (nonunion). The patient is still receiving active treatment for the nonunion.

Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously sustained open olecranon fracture of the right ulna, where the fracture extends into the joint, is non-displaced, and has developed a nonunion. This applies to ongoing treatment for the nonunion, such as further surgical intervention, casting, or other medical management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and "subsequent encounter" for accurate coding.
• Verify the laterality (right ulna) and the intraarticular extension of the fracture.
• Confirm the original injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) as this is a specific requirement for this code.
