ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of coronoid process of left ulna, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
This code signifies a break in the coronoid process, a small bony projection on the ulna (forearm bone), specifically on the left side. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not properly aligned, and it is an open fracture of either Type I or Type II, indicating a wound that communicates with the fracture site.
Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a displaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the coronoid process of the left ulna. This typically occurs due to trauma, such as a fall or direct impact to the elbow.
