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

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the olecranon (the bony prominence of the elbow) on the left arm, which does not extend into the joint space. The fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion) and the patient is presenting for follow-up care of this closed injury.

Apply this code for a patient with a previously diagnosed left olecranon fracture that was non-displaced and extra-articular, who is now being seen for ongoing management of a confirmed nonunion. This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters after initial treatment, where the fracture remains closed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left ulna" and "olecranon process" to differentiate from other forearm fractures.
• Confirm the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "without intraarticular extension."
• Verify the encounter is for "nonunion" of a "closed fracture" in a "subsequent" phase of care.
