Sltr-haris Type III physl fx low end humer, right arm, 7thK

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type III) affecting the lower part of the right humerus, which is the long bone of the upper arm. Importantly, this fracture has failed to heal properly, resulting in a nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing issue.

Use this code when documenting subsequent encounters for a patient whose right humeral physeal fracture, initially classified as Salter-Harris Type III, has not united. This applies to visits for ongoing management, evaluation of nonunion, or planning for further intervention after the initial treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" to support the 7th character "K".
• Verify the fracture location is specifically the lower end of the humerus and on the right side.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
