Unsp physl fx low end humer, r arm, subs for fx w delay heal

This code describes a fracture of the growth plate at the lower end of the right humerus, where the specific type of physeal fracture is not documented. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient with an unclassified right distal humeral physeal fracture is experiencing delayed union. It should be used after initial treatment, such as casting or surgery, when the healing process is prolonged.

• Requires a seventh character of 'G' for subsequent encounter with delayed healing.
• Ensure documentation specifies "unspecified" physeal fracture and "right arm."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
