ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of olecranon process without intraarticular extension of right ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
This code describes a fracture of the olecranon process (the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow) on the right arm that has not shifted from its original position and does not extend into the elbow joint. This specific instance refers to a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (where the bone broke through the skin) classified as type I or II, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.
Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a right olecranon fracture that was initially an open fracture (type I or II) and is now experiencing delayed union or healing. This applies to situations where the fracture remains nondisplaced and does not involve the joint surface.
