Disp fx of med epicondyl of unsp humer, 7thK

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who previously sustained an avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The fracture fragment remains displaced, and the bone has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion. This condition often results in persistent pain and functional limitations.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being managed for a previously diagnosed displaced medial epicondyle avulsion fracture that has not united. This includes encounters for ongoing treatment, evaluation of nonunion, or preparation for surgical intervention to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and "subsequent encounter" for a displaced medial epicondyle avulsion fracture.
• Verify the laterality is unspecified; if left or right is documented, a more specific code should be used.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically an avulsion type of the medial epicondyle.
