S42.441G
ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture (avulsion) of medial epicondyle of right humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code describes a situation where a piece of bone has been pulled away from the medial epicondyle of the right humerus, indicating an avulsion fracture. At this stage, the fracture is not healing as expected, and the patient is receiving ongoing care for this delayed union.
Use this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed avulsion fracture of the right medial epicondyle, and the medical record clearly documents delayed healing. This would apply to scenarios such as repeat imaging showing incomplete callus formation or persistent pain and instability beyond the typical healing timeframe.
