Nondisp fx of coronoid process of left ulna, sequela

This code signifies a past, healed fracture of the coronoid process of the left ulna that was initially nondisplaced. The patient is now experiencing a residual condition or complication directly related to this previous injury, such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, or deformity.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a long-term consequence or late effect stemming from a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the coronoid process of their left ulna. This applies to follow-up encounters where the acute fracture has healed, but ongoing issues persist.

• Always assign a secondary code to describe the specific sequela (e.g., M25.522 for pain in left elbow).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior nondisplaced left coronoid process fracture.
• Do not use this code for acute or active fractures; it is exclusively for sequelae.
