ICD-10 code S52. 021A for Displaced fracture of olecranon process without intraarticular extension of right ulna, initial encounter for closed fracture is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
An olecranon (oh-LEK-rah-nun) fracture is a break in the bony "tip" of the elbow. This pointy segment of bone is part of the ulna, one of the three bones that come together to form the elbow joint. The olecranon is located under the skin of the elbow, without much protection from muscles or other soft tissues.
An olecranon fracture is a break in the “pointy bone” of your elbow that sticks out when you bend your arm, which is actually the end of the ulna. This type of fracture is common and usually occurs in isolation (there are no other injuries) but can also be a part of a more complex elbow injury.
Fractures of the olecranon are intra-articular injuries and require anatomic reduction.
The olecranon is the tip of the elbow and is part of the ulna.
a. The olecranon (previously the olecranon process) of the ulna is the most proximal part of the bone. It is a massive, blunt process. The triceps brachii muscle, the primary extensor of the forearm, has its insertion on the tuberosity of this process.
this notch is called the olecranon process; it articulates behind the humerus in the olecranon fossa and may be felt as the point of the elbow.
The most proximal aspect of the olecranon articulates with the olecranon fossa of the distal humerus posteriorly and the coronoid process articulates with the coronoid fossa of the humerus anteriorly.

What is elbow fracture open reduction and internal fixation? Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a type of surgery used to stabilize and heal a broken bone. You might need this procedure to treat your broken elbow. The elbow joint is a hinge type of joint composed of 3 bones.
The olecranon serves as a lever for the extensor muscles that straighten the elbow joint.
Elbow bursitis occurs in the olecranon bursa, a thin, fluid-filled sac that is located at the boney tip of the elbow (the olecranon). There are many bursae located throughout the body that act as cushions between bones and soft tissues, such as skin.
