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

This code indicates a displaced fracture of the inner part of the lower right upper arm bone that has healed improperly. Malunion means the bone fragments have joined in a deformed position, leading to functional impairment or cosmetic deformity. This specific code is for a follow-up visit where the malunion is being addressed or evaluated.

Apply this code when documenting a patient encounter for a right humeral medial condyle fracture that has previously been treated but has healed in an unsatisfactory alignment. This would include scenarios where the patient is presenting for evaluation of ongoing pain, limited range of motion, or deformity due to the malunion, or for planning of corrective surgery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and not "nonunion" or "delayed healing."
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care related to the fracture's healing, not initial treatment or routine follow-up without complications.
• Confirm laterality (right) and the specific anatomical site (medial condyle of humerus) are accurately documented.
