Disp fx of lateral epicondyl of r humer, 7thG

This code signifies a right humerus fracture specifically affecting the lateral epicondyle, where a piece of bone has been pulled away (avulsion) from the main bone. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" means the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed avulsion fracture of the right lateral epicondyle of the humerus. This applies when the physician documents that the fracture is not healing within the typical timeframe and requires continued management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture location is precisely the lateral epicondyle of the right humerus.
• Distinguish from nonunion (S42.431K) or malunion (S42.431P) which have separate codes.
