Nondisp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn r ulna, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the olecranon process (the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow) on the right ulna that has not shifted out of place and does not extend into the elbow joint. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of healing for this closed fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced, extra-articular olecranon fracture of the right ulna, and the physician notes delayed healing. This applies when the fracture is still closed (skin intact) and the patient is past the initial active treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "right ulna" and "olecranon process" to support laterality and anatomical specificity.
• Verify that the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "without intraarticular extension."
• Confirm the encounter is for "subsequent" care and "delayed healing" is documented to justify the 7th character 'G'.
