Sltr-haris Type I physl fx low end humer, r arm, 7thG

This code signifies a growth plate fracture at the lower end of the right humerus, specifically a Salter-Harris Type I injury. This type of fracture involves a separation of the epiphysis from the metaphysis through the growth plate itself, without bone involvement. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type I physeal fracture of the distal right humerus is being monitored for healing progress, and the healing is not proceeding at the expected rate. This would include scenarios where the fracture has not united within the typical timeframe or shows signs of prolonged recovery.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right arm" and "lower end of humerus" for anatomical accuracy.
• The "G" suffix is crucial and indicates subsequent care with delayed healing; do not use for initial encounters or routine healing.
• Verify the fracture type is explicitly documented as "Salter-Harris Type I" to support code selection.
