Nondisp fx of coronoid pro of r ulna, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the coronoid process, a small bony projection on the ulna near the elbow joint, that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of healing for this closed fracture, but the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code when documenting a patient visit for ongoing management of a right ulnar coronoid process fracture that was initially treated non-surgically and is exhibiting delayed union. This would be used after the initial treatment phase and during follow-up appointments where the fracture has not yet fully consolidated.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right ulna" and "coronoid process" to support laterality and specific anatomical site.
• The "G" seventh character indicates subsequent encounter with delayed healing, so confirm this status in the physician's notes.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly documented as "nondisplaced" and "closed" to align with the code's specificity.
