S49.001D
ICD-10-CMUnspecified physeal fracture of upper end of humerus, right arm, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
This code indicates an unspecified fracture of the growth plate at the top of the right humerus, meaning the specific type of physeal fracture (e.g., Salter-Harris type) was not documented. The patient is in the healing phase, and the fracture is progressing routinely without complications.
Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing care for an unclassified growth plate fracture of the right proximal humerus. This is appropriate when the fracture is healing as expected and no complications or delayed healing are noted.
