Disp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn l ulna, 7thP

This code describes a left elbow injury involving a fracture of the olecranon process (the bony tip of the elbow) that is out of alignment but does not extend into the joint space. This specific encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, which has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously treated left olecranon fracture that has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This would include scenarios such as evaluation for corrective surgery, physical therapy for functional limitations due to the malunion, or monitoring of the malunited fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left ulna" and "olecranon process" to differentiate from other elbow fractures.
• Confirm the fracture is "displaced" and "without intraarticular extension."
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" for a "closed fracture" with documented "malunion."
