Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end humer, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the upper part of the right humerus, where the fracture line extends through the physis and into the metaphysis. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up visits for a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the right proximal humerus. This is appropriate when the physician explicitly notes that the fracture healing process is slower than anticipated, requiring continued medical management.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is indeed Salter-Harris Type II and located at the upper end of the right humerus.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter would use a different seventh character.
