Nondisp fx of med epicondyl of unsp humer, 7thG

This code signifies a non-displaced avulsion fracture of the medial epicondyle of the humerus, where the specific arm (left or right) is not documented. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this injury, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a medial epicondyle avulsion fracture, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms the fracture is not fully healed within the expected timeframe. This is appropriate for encounters focused on monitoring healing progress, managing complications related to delayed union, or planning further interventions due to slow healing.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter.
• Verify the fracture is indeed non-displaced and an avulsion type.
• Only use this code when the laterality of the humerus is unspecified in the medical record.
