Disp fx of medial condyle of r humer, subs for fx w nonunion

This code describes a situation where the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the right upper arm bone (humerus) was broken and the broken pieces are no longer aligned. This specific encounter is for ongoing treatment of this fracture, which has failed to heal properly and unite.

Use this code when a patient is receiving follow-up care for a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the medial condyle of the right humerus, and imaging or clinical assessment confirms that the fracture fragments have not joined together. This applies to subsequent visits after the initial treatment, where nonunion is the primary focus of the encounter.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the "right humerus" and "medial condyle."
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• Always check for any associated complications or sequelae that may require additional coding.
