Nondisp simple suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx l humerus, init

This code signifies a fracture of the lower part of the left upper arm bone (humerus) above the elbow joint, which is a clean break without displacement of the bone fragments. Importantly, this fracture does not extend between the condyles (the rounded prominences at the end of the humerus).

Apply this code for a patient presenting with an acute, newly diagnosed, and untreated simple supracondylar fracture of the left humerus that is confirmed to be nondisplaced and does not involve the intercondylar region. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the fracture is first evaluated and treatment planning begins.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "without intercondylar fracture" for accurate coding.
• Verify the laterality (left humerus) is clearly documented.
• The "A" seventh character indicates an initial encounter for active treatment of the closed fracture.
