Displ simp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx r humer, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a clean break of the humerus just above the elbow joint on the right side. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are out of alignment, but it does not extend between the condyles. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced simple supracondylar fracture of the right humerus is being monitored for routine healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, follow-up X-rays showing callus formation, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" humerus and "subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing."
• Confirm the fracture is described as "simple" and "displaced" without intercondylar involvement.
• Do not use for initial treatment or encounters for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
