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

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture in the upper part of the left humerus, characterized by the Salter-Harris Type II pattern, which involves the physis and a portion of the metaphysis. It indicates that the fracture is healing improperly, resulting in malunion, and the patient is currently in a subsequent phase of care for this condition.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the left proximal humerus that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This includes evaluations for ongoing pain, functional limitations, or planning for corrective interventions related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" arm and "subsequent encounter" for fracture care.
• Verify the "Salter-Harris Type II" classification and "malunion" are explicitly stated or clearly implied by clinical findings.
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or encounters for routine healing without malunion.
