Nondisp fx of med epicondyl of r humer, 7thP

This code describes a situation where the medial epicondyle of the right humerus, a bony prominence on the inner side of the elbow, sustained an avulsion fracture that was initially nondisplaced. The current encounter is for follow-up care of this fracture, which has healed in an unsatisfactory position, known as a malunion.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management or evaluation of a previously treated nondisplaced avulsion fracture of the right humeral medial epicondyle that has resulted in malunion. This applies to follow-up visits after the initial treatment phase, where the malunion is the primary focus of the encounter.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right humerus" and "medial epicondyle" for accurate laterality and site.
• Confirm the fracture was initially "nondisplaced" and that the current encounter addresses a "malunion."
• This "P" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with malunion; do not use for initial treatment or routine healing.
