Nondisp fx of lateral epicondyl of r humer, 7thP

This code signifies a previously treated avulsion fracture of the lateral epicondyle on the right humerus, where the bone fragments were not displaced at the time of the initial injury. The current encounter addresses a complication where the fracture has healed incorrectly, resulting in a malunion.

Apply this code for follow-up visits or ongoing treatment of a right humeral lateral epicondyle avulsion fracture that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This would include scenarios where the patient presents with pain, limited range of motion, or other functional deficits due to the malunion, and the physician is evaluating or managing this specific complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right humerus and lateral epicondyle.
• Verify that the original fracture was an "avulsion" type and "nondisplaced."
• This code indicates a "subsequent encounter," so it should not be used for the initial treatment of the fracture.
