Nondisp fx of med condyle of r humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the inner bony prominence at the lower end of the right upper arm bone (humerus) that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the right humerus is experiencing delayed union. This would typically be documented by the physician noting slow healing or persistent symptoms beyond the usual recovery period for such a fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "medial condyle" of the "right humerus."
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a fracture with delayed healing, so look for physician notes detailing the ongoing healing process and any concerns about its pace.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or for fractures that are healing normally.
