Sltr-haris Type I physl fx low end humer, r arm, 7thD

This code describes a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type I) affecting the distal end of the right humerus. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase where the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type I fracture of the right distal humerus is receiving ongoing care, and the fracture is progressing to routine healing. This includes follow-up appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "routine healing" to differentiate from delayed or nonunion.
• Verify the laterality (right arm) and the specific bone (humerus) and location (lower end).
• Confirm the Salter-Harris type (Type I) is clearly documented by the physician.
