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

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 inner bony prominence of the left upper arm bone. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment, and the skin and soft tissues surrounding the fracture site are open, exposing the bone.

Apply this code for a patient presenting for the initial treatment of an open avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the left humerus. This includes emergency department visits, initial surgical repair, or the first encounter with a healthcare provider for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "left" humerus and "medial epicondyle" to differentiate from other humerus fractures.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly described as "displaced" and an "avulsion" type.
• Verify the encounter is the "initial" treatment and that the fracture is "open" before assigning this code.
