Oth nondisp fx of low end unsp humer, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture at the lower end of the humerus, the long bone of the upper arm, that is not displaced and has healed improperly (malunion). It indicates that the patient is being seen for follow-up care related to this previously sustained injury.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for ongoing management or evaluation of a malunited, nondisplaced fracture of the distal humerus. This typically occurs after initial treatment, when the fracture has consolidated but with an undesirable alignment.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "malunion" and "subsequent encounter" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is indeed nondisplaced and located at the lower end of the humerus.
• Do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up without evidence of malunion.
