Disp fx of medial epicondyle of r humerus, init for opn fx

This code signifies a fracture where a piece of bone has been pulled away (avulsed) from the medial epicondyle of the right humerus, and the skin and soft tissue overlying the fracture are broken, exposing the bone. This injury involves the inner bony prominence of the elbow on the right arm.

Apply this code for the initial treatment of a patient presenting with an open avulsion fracture of the right medial epicondyle. This includes emergency department visits, initial surgical repair, or the first encounter for definitive management of the injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "open fracture" and "initial encounter" for accurate code assignment.
• Later encounters for follow-up care of this specific fracture will require a different seventh character (e.g., D for subsequent, P for malunion).
• Always verify the laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (medial epicondyle) are clearly documented.
