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

This code signifies a right elbow injury involving a fracture of the olecranon process that has not shifted out of place and does not extend into the joint. It specifically indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for an open fracture (Type I or II) that has failed to heal properly.

Use this code when documenting ongoing care for a patient with a right olecranon fracture that was initially open (Gustilo type I or II) and is now experiencing nonunion. This applies to subsequent visits where the focus is on managing the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right ulna" and "olecranon process" to differentiate from other elbow fractures.
• Verify that the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "nonunion" is explicitly stated in the physician's notes.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for this specific fracture would use a different code.
