Disp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn r ulna, 7thK

This code signifies a right elbow injury involving a break in the olecranon process of the ulna, which is displaced and does not extend into the joint. The fracture is not healing properly, indicating a nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care after initial treatment, with the skin over the fracture remaining intact.

Use this code for a patient who has previously received initial treatment for a displaced olecranon fracture of the right ulna without intraarticular extension, and is now being seen for ongoing management of a documented nonunion. This applies when the fracture was initially closed and remains so.

• Confirm documentation specifies "right ulna" and "olecranon process" to ensure anatomical accuracy.
• Verify the "subsequent encounter" and "nonunion" status are clearly documented.
• Ensure there is no mention of intraarticular extension, as this would lead to a different code.
