S52.044Q
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of coronoid process of right ulna, subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion
This code signifies a previously treated fracture of the coronoid process of the right ulna that was initially an open fracture (Type I or II) and has now healed incorrectly, resulting in malunion. The fracture itself is currently nondisplaced, indicating the bone fragments are in their anatomical position despite the prior healing complication.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a known malunion of a right ulnar coronoid process fracture that was initially an open injury. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the malunion is being assessed or managed, and the fracture itself is no longer acutely displaced.
