Nondisp fx of med condyle of l humer, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the inner part of the lower left upper arm bone (humerus) that has not shifted out of alignment. It is used when the patient is seen for follow-up care of this fracture, and the healing process is progressing normally.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced medial condyle fracture of the left humerus is being monitored for routine healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the expected healing period. It would not be used for the initial injury encounter or if complications arise.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left humerus, medial condyle."
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/nonunion.
• Always review the physician's notes to confirm the healing status and rule out any complications that would necessitate a different seventh character.
