Nondisp fx of med epicondyl of l humer, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the medial epicondyle on the left humerus that has not displaced, specifically an avulsion type. The fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing healing complication.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a subsequent visit where a previously diagnosed nondisplaced avulsion fracture of the left medial epicondyle is documented as having nonunion. This applies when the patient is receiving continued treatment or evaluation for the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced avulsion fracture" of the left medial epicondyle.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and that "nonunion" is clearly documented as the healing status.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally or with delayed union.
