The patient is a 17-year-old male who was struck on the elbow by another player’s stick while playing hockey. He is found to have a fracture of the olecranon process. The patient was brought to the or, anesthetized and intubated. The right upper extremity was prepped with betadine scrub and draped free in the usual sterile orthopedic manner. The arm was then elevated and exsanguinated and the tourniquet inflated to 250 mm/hg. A five-inch incision was made with the scalpel on the extensor side of the elbow, beginning distally and proceeding in an oblique fashion up the proximal forearm. Dissection was carried through subcutaneous tissue and fascia, and bleeding was controlled with electrocautery. We then subperiosteally exposed the proximal ulna and olecranon to visualize the fracture site. The fracture could be seen at the base of the olecranon process. We irrigated the site thoroughly and reduced the fracture fragments without difficulty. Extending the elbow, we inserted two smooth k-wires across the fracture site. Through a drill hole in the proximal ulnar shaft, we threaded an 18-gauge wire through it and wrapped it around the k-wires in a figure-of-eight manner to further stabilize the fixation. Wires were then twisted and placed into soft tissues. The k-wires in the olecranon were advanced slightly after being bent and cut. Sterile dressing was applied and the patient was placed in a splint. What cpt® code is reported?.
