ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right humerus, initial encounter for closed fracture
This diagnosis code signifies a break in the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the right upper arm bone (humerus), where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. This specific fracture involves the medial condyle, a critical part of the elbow joint.
This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-open fracture of the right humeral medial condyle that shows displacement. It would be used for the first encounter related to the injury, such as in an emergency department or initial orthopedic consultation.
