ICD-10-CMOther nondisplaced fracture of lower end of right humerus, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
This code signifies a non-displaced fracture affecting the distal portion of the right humerus, excluding specific condylar or supracondylar types. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to unite.
Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the lower right humerus is being monitored or treated for delayed bone union. This applies when the fracture has not yet healed within the anticipated timeframe.
