Displ simp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx r humer, 7thK

This code describes a situation where a patient has a fracture above the condyles of the right humerus that does not involve the joint surface and has shifted from its normal position. Crucially, the fracture has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion, and the patient is being seen for follow-up care related to this ongoing healing complication.

This code is used when a patient presents for treatment or evaluation of a previously diagnosed displaced simple supracondylar fracture of the right humerus, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture fragments have not united. This would apply to subsequent visits for managing the nonunion, such as planning for revision surgery, monitoring bone graft healing, or managing complications related to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" as the complication of the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right humerus) and the specific fracture type (displaced simple supracondylar without intercondylar involvement).
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for ongoing care of the nonunion, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
