Nondisp fx of olecran pro w intartic extn r ulna, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the olecranon process of the right ulna, where the fracture line extended into the elbow joint. While the fracture itself was nondisplaced, the sequela indicates ongoing issues or late effects related to the original injury.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, pain, limited range of motion, or other long-term complications directly attributable to a previously sustained nondisplaced intraarticular olecranon fracture of the right ulna. This code is appropriate for follow-up visits after the initial healing phase, when the acute injury is no longer being treated.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous right olecranon fracture.
• Do not use this code for the initial or acute treatment of the fracture; it is specifically for sequelae.
• Verify laterality (right ulna) and the intraarticular extension are explicitly stated in the medical record.
