Disp fx of medial condyle of unspecified humerus, sequela

This code signifies a past fracture of the medial condyle of the humerus that was displaced and has resulted in a sequela, meaning a residual effect or complication from the original injury. The specific side of the humerus is not documented or known.

Use this code when a patient presents with ongoing issues directly attributable to a previously displaced medial condyle humeral fracture, such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or post-traumatic arthritis. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these long-term complications.

• Always code the specific sequela (e.g., M84.38 for nonunion) first, followed by this code to indicate the etiology.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior displaced fracture.
• Verify that the laterality of the humerus is truly unspecified; if known, a more specific code should be used.
