Disp fx of coronoid pro of r ulna, 7thP

This code signifies a right elbow injury involving a fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion, but the skin over the fracture remains intact.

This code is appropriate when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a displaced coronoid process fracture of the right ulna and is now experiencing complications related to improper healing (malunion). It should be used when the fracture is closed and the patient is no longer in the initial healing phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right ulna" and "coronoid process" to support laterality and anatomical site.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and that malunion is explicitly documented as a complication of a previously closed fracture.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, nonunion, or open fractures.
