Displ commnt suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx r humer, 7thG

This code signifies a complex fracture of the right humerus, specifically a comminuted break above the condyles that is also displaced. Crucially, it excludes any fractures extending between the condyles. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced comminuted supracondylar fracture of the right humerus (without intercondylar involvement) is being treated for delayed healing. This would include situations where the fracture is not uniting as expected within the typical timeframe, requiring continued medical management, imaging, or interventions.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the "G" seventh character.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "comminuted" and "displaced" and "supracondylar" without "intercondylar" involvement.
• Confirm the laterality is "right" and the encounter is not for initial treatment.
