Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of left humerus, init

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence of the lower part of the left upper arm bone (humerus) that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. It indicates that the fracture is being treated for the first time and the skin over the fracture site is intact.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a non-displaced fracture of the lateral condyle of the left humerus, confirmed by imaging, where there is no open wound communicating with the fracture. It would be used for the initial evaluation, casting, or surgical repair of such a fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left" humerus.
• Verify that this is the patient's initial encounter for this specific fracture.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; if open, a different code would be required.
