Nondisp fx of lateral epicondyle of unsp humerus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a previous avulsion fracture of the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The fracture itself was nondisplaced, meaning the bone fragments remained in their anatomical alignment, and the specific side (left or right) of the humerus is not documented.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is presenting for follow-up care, evaluation of chronic pain, or assessment of long-term functional limitations directly attributable to a past nondisplaced avulsion fracture of the lateral epicondyle. This code is appropriate when the acute phase of the injury has passed, and the sequelae are being addressed.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "sequela" or indicates a healed fracture with ongoing issues.
• Confirm the fracture was specifically of the lateral epicondyle and was nondisplaced.
• Only use this code when the laterality of the humerus is not specified in the medical record.
