Disp fx (avulsion) of lateral epicondyle of r humerus, init

This code signifies a fracture where a fragment of bone has been pulled away from the lateral epicondyle of the right humerus, often due to a strong ligament or tendon pull. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

Apply this code for initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed avulsion fracture of the right humeral lateral epicondyle. This includes emergency department visits, initial orthopedic consultations, or hospital admissions for the immediate management of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "avulsion" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm the fracture is of the right humerus and specifically the lateral epicondyle.
• Use the appropriate subsequent encounter or sequela code for follow-up care after the initial treatment phase.
