ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of coronoid process of left ulna, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
This code signifies a fracture of the coronoid process, a small bony projection on the ulna near the elbow, that has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The injury is to the left arm, and the patient is in a follow-up phase of care where the fracture is healing without complications and the skin remains intact.
This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced coronoid process fracture of the left ulna is receiving routine follow-up care. It applies when the fracture is healing as expected and there is no open wound associated with the fracture.
