Nondisp fx of med epicondyl of r humer, 7thG

This code signifies a non-displaced avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the right humerus that is currently undergoing treatment for delayed healing. An avulsion fracture occurs when a piece of bone is pulled away by a tendon or ligament. "Nondisplaced" indicates the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced right medial epicondyle avulsion fracture is experiencing slower-than-expected healing. This would include situations where the physician is monitoring the fracture site, assessing for complications related to delayed union, or adjusting treatment plans due to the prolonged healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and an "avulsion" of the medial epicondyle.
• Confirm the encounter is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
