Disp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn right ulna, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition following a displaced fracture of the olecranon process of the right ulna, where the fracture did not extend into the elbow joint. The "sequela" indicates that this code is used for complications or conditions arising as a direct result of the initial fracture, even after the acute phase has passed.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with long-term issues, such as pain, stiffness, or deformity, directly attributable to a previously sustained displaced olecranon fracture without intraarticular involvement of the right ulna. This is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing chronic problems related to the past injury, not for the initial acute fracture treatment.

• Always use in conjunction with a code describing the specific sequela (e.g., M25.521 for pain in right elbow).
• Ensure documentation clearly states the fracture was displaced and did not involve the joint.
• Verify the encounter is for a residual condition, not the initial treatment or routine follow-up without complications.
