ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of coronoid process of right ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the coronoid process, a small bony projection on the ulna in the elbow, specifically on the right arm. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. This particular encounter is for ongoing treatment of an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, that has failed to heal properly (nonunion).
Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or surgical planning, for a previously diagnosed open coronoid process fracture of the right ulna that is not healing as expected. This applies when the initial injury was an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II, and the fracture fragments remain in anatomical alignment.
