Other nondisp fx of lower end of right humerus, sequela

This code signifies a healed or residual condition resulting from a nondisplaced fracture of the lower end of the right humerus, excluding specific epicondylar or condylar fractures. It indicates that the initial fracture has resolved, but the patient is still experiencing a long-term complication or effect directly attributable to that past injury.

This code is appropriate when documenting a patient's visit for ongoing issues such as pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, or deformity that are a direct consequence of a previously sustained, nondisplaced fracture of the distal right humerus. It should be used after the initial healing phase of the fracture is complete.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., M25.511 for pain in right shoulder).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fracture of the lower right humerus.
• Verify that the fracture was indeed nondisplaced and located at the lower end of the humerus, excluding specific condylar or epicondylar fractures.
