S42.455P
ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of lateral condyle of left humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
This code signifies a healing fracture of the outer portion of the left elbow bone (humerus) that is not properly aligned (malunion) but is not displaced. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this specific fracture complication.
Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient whose left humeral lateral condyle fracture has healed in a misaligned position. This is appropriate for encounters where the malunion is being monitored or managed, and the fracture itself is no longer acute but has not yet fully united correctly.
