Nondisp fx of lateral condyle of l humer, 7thD

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the outer bony prominence of the lower left upper arm bone. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed non-displaced lateral condyle fracture of the left humerus. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the fracture is progressing well towards union, such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine follow-up X-rays showing expected healing.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the lateral condyle and is nondisplaced.
• Confirm the documentation supports "routine healing" to differentiate from delayed or nonunion.
