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

This code describes a left elbow injury involving a nondisplaced fracture of the olecranon process that does not extend into the joint. This specific code is for a subsequent encounter where the initial injury was an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and the bone is failing to heal properly (nonunion).

Use this code for follow-up care of a patient with a previously diagnosed left olecranon fracture that was initially an open fracture and is now complicated by nonunion. This would apply during clinic visits, hospitalizations, or surgical encounters focused on managing the nonunion of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left ulna" and "nondisplaced olecranon process fracture without intraarticular extension."
• Verify the original fracture was classified as an open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and that nonunion is explicitly documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters only; an initial encounter for this specific nonunion would use a different code.
