ICD-10-CMNondisplaced fracture of medial condyle of right humerus, initial encounter for closed fracture
This diagnosis code signifies a break in the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the right upper arm bone (humerus) that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. The skin over the fracture site remains intact, indicating a closed injury. This is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture.
This code is appropriate for documenting the initial treatment of a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, stable fracture of the medial condyle of the right humerus where the skin is not broken. This would include scenarios such as an emergency department visit or an initial orthopedic consultation following a fall or direct trauma to the elbow.
