S49.009D
ICD-10-CMUnspecified physeal fracture of upper end of humerus, unspecified arm, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
This code describes a follow-up visit for a fracture of the growth plate at the top of the humerus, where the specific location (e.g., Salter-Harris type) and the affected arm are not documented. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.
Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving routine follow-up care for an unspecified physeal fracture of the proximal humerus. This applies when the initial injury was not specified beyond a physeal fracture and the healing process is progressing normally.
