Sltr-haris Type II physl fx upr end humer, l arm, 7thG

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type II) affecting the upper part of the left humerus. This particular encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, which is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the proximal left humerus presents for follow-up care, and the physician documents delayed healing. This includes scenarios where additional interventions, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or further imaging, are performed due to the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the specified fracture.
• Verify the fracture location (upper end of humerus) and laterality (left arm).
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment.
