ICD-10-CMDisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right humerus, initial encounter for open fracture
This code signifies a break in the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the right upper arm bone (humerus), where the fractured bone fragments are no longer in their normal anatomical alignment. This specific injury involves an open wound, meaning the bone has pierced through the skin or there is a direct communication between the fracture site and the external environment.
Apply this code for initial treatment encounters of patients presenting with a right medial humeral condyle fracture that is visibly displaced and has an associated open wound. This includes situations where the patient is admitted for surgical repair or initial stabilization of the open fracture.
