ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of coronoid process of right ulna, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the coronoid process of the right ulna that was initially nondisplaced and is now exhibiting signs of nonunion. Nonunion indicates that the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a significant period.
This code is appropriate for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced right ulnar coronoid fracture that has not healed. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing further evaluation, conservative treatment, or surgical planning due to the persistent nonunion.
