Disp fx of med epicondyl of r humer, subs for fx w nonunion

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 fragments are not in their anatomical alignment. This particular code is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the bone has failed to heal properly (nonunion).

Apply this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed displaced avulsion fracture of the right medial epicondyle, where imaging or clinical assessment confirms nonunion. This would include scenarios like surgical intervention for nonunion, casting/splinting for nonunion, or evaluation of nonunion status.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" for the healing status.
• Verify the laterality (right humerus) and the specific epicondyle (medial).
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
