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

This code describes a left elbow injury involving a displaced break of the olecranon process, which is the bony tip of the elbow, without the fracture extending into the joint space. This specific instance refers to a subsequent visit for an open fracture (Type I or II) that has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for complications arising from a previously sustained open olecranon fracture of the left ulna. This applies when the fracture has healed in an anatomically incorrect position (malunion) and the original injury was an open fracture of Gustilo-Anderson Type I or II.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" ulna and "displaced" fracture.
• Verify the original injury was an open fracture (Type I or II) and that malunion is explicitly documented.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
