Disp fx of coronoid pro of r ulna, 7thQ

This code signifies a malunion of a previously treated open fracture of the coronoid process of the right ulna, specifically an open fracture type I or II. It indicates that the bone has healed in an anatomically incorrect position following the initial injury and subsequent surgical or non-surgical management.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care, evaluation, or treatment of a right ulnar coronoid process fracture that has healed with malalignment, and the original injury was an open fracture of type I or II. This applies when the malunion is the primary focus of the current encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "right ulna" and "coronoid process."
• Verify the original fracture was an "open fracture type I or II" as this impacts the 7th character.
• This code is for a subsequent encounter, meaning the initial treatment for the fracture has already occurred.
