Disp fx of medial condyle of left humerus, init for clos fx

This code signifies a break in the inner portion of the lower left upper arm bone, specifically the medial condyle, where the bone fragments are not properly aligned. It indicates the initial treatment phase for a fracture that has not broken through the skin.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, closed fracture of the medial condyle of the left humerus requiring initial treatment, such as reduction and casting. This would be appropriate for the first encounter related to this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "medial condyle" of the "left humerus."
• Confirm the encounter is for the initial treatment of the fracture, not subsequent care or sequelae.
• Verify the fracture is documented as "closed" (skin intact) to avoid using an open fracture code.
