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

This code signifies a fracture where a piece of bone has been pulled away from the main bone by a tendon or ligament (avulsion), specifically affecting the medial epicondyle of the right humerus. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment.

Apply this code when documenting the initial treatment for a closed avulsion fracture of the right humeral medial epicondyle. This includes scenarios such as a patient presenting to the emergency department after a fall or sports injury resulting in this specific fracture type, prior to any definitive surgical or non-surgical treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" humerus and "medial epicondyle" for accurate laterality and anatomical site.
• Confirm the fracture is an "avulsion" type and "displaced" as these are key components of this specific code.
• Verify this is the "initial encounter" for treatment of a "closed" fracture; subsequent encounters or open fractures would require different codes.
