Disp fx of lateral epicondyl of l humer, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture where a piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone (avulsion) at the outer bony prominence of the left upper arm bone. The fracture is currently healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a routine follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed displaced avulsion fracture of the left lateral epicondyle, and the physician documents normal healing progress. This is appropriate for subsequent cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the typical healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left" humerus and "lateral epicondyle."
• Confirm the encounter is for "routine healing" and not delayed, nonunion, or malunion.
• Verify the fracture was initially "displaced" and an "avulsion" type.
