Oth nondisp fx of lower end r humer, subs for fx w malunion

This code describes a fracture of the lower part of the right humerus that was initially nondisplaced but is now healing incorrectly, resulting in a malunion. The patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this malunited fracture.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing treatment or evaluation of a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the distal right humerus that has healed in an anatomically incorrect position. This applies to subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture, where malunion is the primary concern.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and specifies the "right humerus" and "lower end."
• Verify the fracture was initially nondisplaced.
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
