Nondisp commnt suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx r humer, 7thB

This code describes a fracture of the right humerus located just above the elbow joint, where the bone is broken into multiple fragments but remains in its normal anatomical position. It specifically indicates that the fracture does not extend between the condyles and is an open fracture, meaning the skin and soft tissue were compromised.

Use this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with an open, comminuted supracondylar fracture of the right humerus that has not displaced. This applies to situations such as a fall or direct trauma resulting in a visible wound communicating with the fracture site.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "comminuted" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the fracture is "supracondylar" and "without intercondylar fracture" of the right humerus.
• Confirm this is the "initial encounter" for an "open fracture" to justify the 7th character 'B'.
