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

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a non-displaced fracture of the olecranon process (the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow) of the left ulna. The fracture does not extend into the elbow joint, and it is specifically noted to be healing slower than expected, but without an open wound.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed closed, non-displaced olecranon fracture of the left ulna is being monitored for delayed healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing persistent fracture lines, or clinical assessment indicating slower-than-average recovery.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is non-displaced and does not involve the joint.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment.
