Nondisp fx of coronoid pro of unsp ulna, 7thB

This code signifies a fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. It specifically applies to an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, where there is a break in the skin communicating with the fracture site. This is an initial encounter for treatment.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced open fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna, where the Gustilo-Anderson classification is Type I or II. This would typically be documented in the emergency department or during the initial surgical intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "open fracture type I or II" for the coronoid process of the ulna.
• Verify this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care would require a different encounter character.
• If the laterality (right or left ulna) is known, a more specific code should be selected.
