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

This code describes a specific type of fracture involving the olecranon process of the right ulna, which is displaced but does not extend into the elbow joint. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for an open fracture (Type I or II) that has not healed as expected (nonunion).

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously sustained open, displaced olecranon fracture of the right ulna that is not healing properly. This includes situations where the provider is monitoring the nonunion, planning further intervention, or managing complications related to the delayed healing.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies a right-sided olecranon fracture that is displaced and extra-articular.
• Verify that the original injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and that the current encounter is for nonunion.
• Pair with appropriate external cause codes if the mechanism of injury is relevant for the subsequent encounter.
