Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of r humerus, init for opn fx

This code signifies a break in the outer bony prominence at the lower end of the right upper arm bone, specifically the lateral condyle of the humerus. The fracture fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment, and the injury involves an open wound communicating with the fracture site. This indicates an initial treatment encounter for this specific type of open fracture.

Apply this code for a patient presenting for the first time with a documented nondisplaced fracture of the lateral condyle of the right humerus, where the skin and soft tissues have been compromised, exposing the bone. This would be used for the initial surgical repair, casting, or other definitive treatment of the open fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "lateral condyle of right humerus."
• Confirm the encounter is the "initial encounter" for the open fracture treatment.
• Verify the "open fracture" status is explicitly documented, indicating a break in the skin.
