ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of olecranon process without intraarticular extension of unspecified ulna, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
This code describes a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the olecranon process (the bony prominence at the tip of the elbow) that has not displaced and does not extend into the joint. The fracture is of an unspecified ulna and, despite previous treatment, has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion.
Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced olecranon fracture without intraarticular extension that has developed a nonunion. This applies when the fracture is still closed and the specific ulna (left or right) was not documented.
