Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end humer, l arm, 7thK

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the upper part of the left humerus in a pediatric patient. The "subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion" indicates that the fracture has failed to heal properly after initial treatment, and the patient is receiving ongoing care for this complication.

This code is used when a pediatric patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the proximal left humerus, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture has not united. This would be appropriate for encounters involving further diagnostic workup, surgical planning for nonunion, or ongoing conservative management of the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" as the complication of the fracture healing process.
• Verify the fracture type is Salter-Harris Type II and the location is the upper end of the left humerus.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
