Hi Everyone! I always seem to get stumped on this dx of elbow fracture dislocation. I believe I would just code the fx and not the dislocation? What dx would you use for this dx? Thank you
 
For fracture dislocations at the same anatomical site, only the fracture code is reported. Fractures are commonly dislocated as the result of the injury.
