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

This code describes a malunion of a displaced fracture of the olecranon process, specifically in an unspecified ulna, that did not extend into the joint. The original injury was an open fracture classified as Type I or Type II.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of a malunion of a previously sustained open olecranon fracture (Type I or II) that was displaced and did not involve the joint. This code is appropriate when the initial fracture was to an unspecified ulna and the malunion is the current focus of care.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" as the complication of the fracture.
• Verify the original fracture was an open Type I or II and did not have intraarticular extension.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture care, not the initial treatment.
