Unsp physl fx low end humer, l arm, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies an unspecific fracture of the growth plate at the distal end of the left humerus. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up period for this injury, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed, unspecified physeal fracture of the left distal humerus is experiencing delayed healing. This would include office visits, follow-up imaging, or other services related to monitoring the slow healing process of this specific fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is the lower end of the humerus and laterality is left.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
