Sltr-haris Type II physl fx low end humer, r arm, 7thD

This code signifies a Salter-Harris Type II fracture affecting the growth plate at the distal end of the right humerus. This specific type of physeal fracture involves a break through the physis and extending into the metaphysis. The "D" suffix indicates that this is a subsequent encounter for a fracture that is currently undergoing routine healing.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the right distal humerus. This applies when the fracture is progressing as expected towards union, without complications or delayed healing. It is appropriate for scenarios such as cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic assessments during the healing phase.

• Ensure the encounter is for a subsequent visit and the fracture is healing routinely.
• Verify the fracture type is Salter-Harris Type II and located at the lower end of the right humerus.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, nonunion, malunion, or delayed healing; different codes apply for those situations.
