Nondisp fx of coronoid pro of r ulna, 7thP

This code describes a healed or healing fracture of the coronoid process in the right ulna that was initially nondisplaced, but has since healed improperly (malunion). The patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care for this closed fracture.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced coronoid process fracture of the right ulna that has demonstrated malunion. This is appropriate for office visits, physical therapy, or other ongoing management related to the improperly healed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right ulna and coronoid process.
• Verify the encounter is for a subsequent phase of care, not initial treatment.
• Confirm the original fracture was nondisplaced and closed.
