S52.043H
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of coronoid process of unspecified ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It specifically applies to an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) that was initially classified as Type I or II, and is now being treated for delayed healing.
This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a coronoid process fracture that has not healed within the expected timeframe. It is used when the initial injury was an open fracture of a specific type and the displacement persists or is being managed.
