Displ simple suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx unsp humerus, init

This code signifies a break in the humerus bone, specifically above the condyles, that does not extend into the joint surface. The fracture fragments are not in their anatomical alignment, and there is no involvement of the intercondylar region.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a closed supracondylar fracture of the humerus where the bone fragments are displaced. This is appropriate for the first encounter for definitive care, such as casting or surgical reduction.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "without intercondylar fracture."
• Verify the encounter is the "initial encounter" for this specific injury.
• Confirm the fracture is "closed" (skin intact) to use this code.
