Nondisp fx of medial condyle of right humerus, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from a previously sustained, non-displaced fracture of the inner portion of the right humerus's lower end. The initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that fracture.

Apply this code when documenting conditions such as chronic pain, limited range of motion, nonunion, malunion, or nerve impingement that are definitively linked to a past, non-displaced medial condyle fracture of the right humerus. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing these persistent sequelae, long after the initial fracture has healed.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, osteoarthritis).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the prior medial condyle fracture.
• Verify the fracture was indeed non-displaced and located on the medial condyle of the right humerus.
