Disp fx of lateral epicondyl of r humer, 7thP

This code signifies a fracture where a piece of bone has been pulled away (avulsed) from the lateral epicondyle of the right humerus, and the fracture is healing improperly (malunion). This specific code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this malunited fracture.

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment of a right humeral lateral epicondyle avulsion fracture that has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This includes visits for physical therapy, pain management, or surgical planning related to the malunion.

• Confirm documentation explicitly states "malunion" and specifies the right humerus.
• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Pair with appropriate external cause codes if the cause of the original injury is relevant to the current encounter.
