Disp fx of lateral condyle of unsp humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the outer bony prominence of the humerus (upper arm bone) that has shifted from its normal alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing as quickly as expected.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a displaced lateral condyle fracture of the humerus, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care where delayed healing is noted. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters after initial treatment, but before the fracture is fully healed.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "delayed healing."
• Verify laterality (left, right, or unspecified) is accurately reflected in the full code.
• This code requires an additional code for any associated external cause of the injury.
