Disp fx (avulsion) of medial epicondyle of l humerus, init

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence of the lower left upper arm bone, specifically where a tendon or ligament has pulled a piece of bone away (avulsion). The fracture fragments are not properly aligned, and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this injury, which has not broken through the skin.

Apply this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-open avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the left humerus. This typically occurs following a traumatic event, such as a fall or sports injury, where a strong muscle contraction or ligamentous pull detaches a bone fragment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" humerus and "medial" epicondyle.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly described as "displaced" and "avulsion."
• Verify this is the initial encounter for treatment of a closed fracture.
