Disp fx of medial condyle of unsp humerus, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the inner portion of the lower end of the upper arm bone (humerus) that has shifted out of its normal alignment. It indicates that this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific closed fracture, meaning the skin is intact over the injury.

This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the humerus where the laterality (left or right arm) is not specified in the medical record. It applies to acute injuries where the fracture has not broken through the skin.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "displaced" and "closed" for accurate code assignment.
• If laterality (left or right humerus) is specified, a more specific code should be chosen.
• This "A" initial encounter suffix is only used for the active treatment phase of the fracture.
