Disp fx of medial epicondyle of unsp 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 humerus. The fracture is displaced, meaning the bone fragments are not in their normal alignment, and the humerus side (left or right) is not specified.

Use this code for a patient presenting with an acute, newly diagnosed avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the humerus where the fracture fragments are displaced. This applies to the initial treatment encounter for a closed fracture, meaning the skin over the fracture is intact.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "avulsion" for the medial epicondyle.
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture; subsequent care will use different seventh characters.
• If the laterality (left or right humerus) is documented, a more specific code should be selected.
