Oth nondisp fx of lower end of left humerus, init

This code signifies a fracture of the distal portion of the left humerus that has not shifted from its normal anatomical position. It indicates that the bone ends remain aligned, and this is the first time the patient is receiving treatment for this specific injury.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a nondisplaced fracture of the lower end of the left humerus, such as a supracondylar or epicondylar fracture, and the patient is in the initial phase of active treatment. This is appropriate for closed fractures where the skin remains intact over the injury site.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "lower end" of the left humerus.
• Verify that this is the initial encounter for treatment of this specific fracture, not a subsequent visit for follow-up care or healing.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; open fractures require a different code.
