Sltr-haris Type IV physl fx upr end humer, r arm, 7thD

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris Type IV) affecting the upper part of the right humerus. It indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care for this fracture, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type IV fracture of the right proximal humerus. It applies when the fracture is healing routinely, such as during cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or follow-up imaging to assess callus formation.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent phase of care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically a Salter-Harris Type IV and located at the upper end of the right humerus.
• Confirm that healing is routine; if complications exist, a different seventh character is required.
