Nondisp fx of med epicondyl of l humer, 7thG

This code describes a fracture where a small piece of bone has been pulled away from the medial epicondyle of the left humerus, but the main bone fragments remain in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced avulsion fracture of the left medial epicondyle of the humerus is experiencing delayed union. This applies when the physician documents ongoing management for the fracture due to slower-than-anticipated healing.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left humerus) and the specific epicondyle (medial).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
