Displaced transcondy fx l humerus, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the lower end of the left humerus, specifically involving the condyles, where the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Use this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a displaced transcondylar fracture of the left humerus who is experiencing delayed healing. This would typically be seen in clinic visits, physical therapy sessions, or during subsequent imaging studies to monitor the healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (left) and the specific fracture type (transcondylar, displaced).
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
