Nondisp fx of medial epicondyl of l humerus, init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture of the medial epicondyle of the left humerus where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical position, specifically caused by an avulsion injury. The fracture is an open type, meaning there is a break in the skin and soft tissue leading to the bone. This code is used for the initial treatment phase of such an injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with an open, nondisplaced avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the left humerus. This would include the initial evaluation, surgical repair, or other definitive treatment provided at the time of injury. It is used when the injury is new and the patient is receiving active treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "avulsion" for the medial epicondyle.
• Confirm the fracture is "open" and the encounter is the "initial" treatment for this specific injury.
• Later encounters for follow-up care or healing would require a different seventh character.
