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

This code signifies a left ulna fracture involving the olecranon process, which extends into the elbow joint but remains nondisplaced. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (Type I or II) that has developed a nonunion, meaning the bone has failed to heal properly.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a previously treated open olecranon fracture of the left ulna where the fracture is intraarticular, nondisplaced, and has not united. This is appropriate when the patient is receiving ongoing management for the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left ulna" and "olecranon process" with "intraarticular extension."
• Verify the fracture was initially an "open fracture Type I or II" and that "nonunion" is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the nonunion management, not the initial treatment.
