Nondisplaced transcondylar fracture of left humerus, init

This code describes a fracture of the lower end of the left humerus, specifically through the condyles, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that the patient is receiving initial treatment for this injury, which is a closed fracture (skin is intact).

Use this code for patients presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left humeral condyles. This applies to the initial visit for diagnosis and treatment planning, such as casting or splinting, when there is no open wound associated with the fracture.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left humerus" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is closed; an open fracture would require a different 7th character.
