Sltr-haris Type III physl fx upper end humer, left arm, 7thD

This code signifies a specific growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type III) affecting the upper part of the left humerus. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters of a left proximal humeral Salter-Harris Type III fracture where the patient is progressing through routine healing. This would typically be used after the initial treatment and during the period of casting, bracing, or other non-surgical management leading to full recovery.

• Ensure the laterality (left arm) and fracture type (Salter-Harris Type III) are accurately documented.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and the healing is routine, not delayed or complicated.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with nonunion, malunion, or other complications.
