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

This code describes a supracondylar fracture of the right humerus that is broken into multiple pieces (comminuted) but remains in its anatomical position (nondisplaced), without involvement of the intercondylar region. The fracture has previously been treated, and the current encounter addresses a complication where the bone has healed in an abnormal alignment (malunion).

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously treated nondisplaced comminuted supracondylar fracture of the right humerus (without intercondylar involvement) is being managed for malunion. This applies when the malunion is a current clinical concern requiring assessment or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced," "comminuted," and "without intercondylar fracture" for the right humerus.
• Confirm the encounter is for a "malunion" and not a nonunion or routine follow-up without complications.
• Verify laterality (right humerus) is explicitly stated in the medical record.
