Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end humer, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the lower part of the right humerus, where the fracture line extends through the physis and into the metaphysis. The "subsequent encounter" indicates ongoing treatment for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits or ongoing treatment encounters for a pediatric patient with a right distal humeral Salter-Harris Type II fracture that is exhibiting delayed union. It should be used when the physician is actively managing the delayed healing process, such as monitoring progress, adjusting treatment plans, or considering interventions for non-union.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for this specific fracture type and location.
• Verify the encounter is indeed "subsequent" and not an initial treatment or sequela.
• Confirm the fracture is Salter-Harris Type II and not another type, as this impacts code selection.
