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

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate at the upper end of the humerus, where the fracture line extends through the metaphysis and physis. It specifically indicates that the fracture is in an unspecified arm and is currently experiencing delayed healing during a subsequent encounter.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II physeal fracture of the proximal humerus is being monitored for healing, and the healing process is progressing slower than expected. This applies when the specific arm (left or right) is not documented.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Confirm the fracture type is Salter-Harris Type II and located at the upper end of the humerus.
