Nondisp simp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx r humer, 7thP

This code describes a supracondylar fracture of the right humerus that does not involve the intercondylar region and is currently in a state of malunion. The fracture was previously treated, and the current encounter addresses the healing process where the bone has united in an anatomically incorrect position.

Use this code for follow-up encounters with a patient who sustained a nondisplaced supracondylar fracture of the right humerus, without intercondylar involvement, and is now presenting with evidence of malunion. This applies when the patient is still receiving active treatment for the malunion or for complications directly related to it.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the right humerus and supracondylar location.
• Verify that the encounter is for a subsequent visit related to the fracture's healing, not the initial treatment.
• Do not use if the fracture is still in active treatment for the initial injury without evidence of malunion, or if it's a nonunion.
