Nondisp fx of lateral epicondyl of unsp humer, 7thK

This code signifies a non-displaced avulsion fracture of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, where the bone has pulled away from its attachment point but remains in its anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving routine care during the healing phase, and "nonunion" specifies that the fracture has failed to heal completely within the expected timeframe.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed lateral epicondyle avulsion fracture that has not united. This includes situations where the patient is undergoing continued conservative management, physical therapy, or evaluation for potential surgical intervention due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for this specific fracture site.
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" and not initial or sequela.
• Confirm the fracture is described as "nondisplaced avulsion" of the lateral epicondyle.
