Disp fx of med epicondyl of l humer, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a previously treated avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the left humerus that has healed in an anatomically incorrect or misaligned position. This malunion indicates a complication in the healing process, potentially leading to functional impairment or pain.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being managed for a left medial epicondyle avulsion fracture that has healed with malunion. This includes evaluations for ongoing symptoms, assessment of functional limitations, or planning for corrective interventions related to the malunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "left" side.
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• Do not use this code for nonunion; a different code exists for that complication.
