Disp fx of medial epicondyle of r humerus, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect stemming from a prior avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the right humerus. It indicates that the initial fracture, where a piece of bone was pulled away by a tendon or ligament, has healed but is now causing ongoing issues or conditions.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition directly attributable to a previously sustained avulsion fracture of the right humeral medial epicondyle. This includes scenarios like chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or nerve impingement that are sequelae of the original injury.

• Always sequence the sequela code first, followed by a code describing the specific manifestation of the sequela (e.g., chronic pain, nonunion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past avulsion fracture of the right medial epicondyle.
• Do not use this code for acute or initial treatment of the fracture; it is exclusively for late effects.
