Nondisp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn unsp ulna, sqla

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the olecranon process of the ulna, where the fracture did not extend into the elbow joint. The "sequela" designation indicates that the patient is presenting for care related to a long-term complication or late effect of this previously sustained injury, rather than the initial acute fracture.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for chronic pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or other persistent issues directly attributable to a past, nondisplaced olecranon fracture without intraarticular involvement of an unspecified ulna. This is appropriate when the initial fracture has healed, and the patient is no longer in the active treatment phase for the acute injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current complaint to the historical olecranon fracture.
• This code is for sequelae only; do not use for initial or subsequent encounters for active fracture treatment.
• Confirm the fracture was nondisplaced and lacked intraarticular extension, and the laterality is unspecified.
