S52.044G
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of coronoid process of right ulna, subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a fracture of the coronoid process, a small bony projection on the ulna near the elbow joint, that has not shifted out of its normal anatomical position. The patient is in a later stage of healing for this closed fracture, but the healing process is taking longer than expected.
Apply this code when documenting a patient visit for ongoing management of a right ulnar coronoid process fracture that was initially treated non-surgically and is exhibiting delayed union. This would be used after the initial treatment phase and during follow-up appointments where the fracture has not yet fully consolidated.
