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

This code signifies a specific type of growth plate fracture, a Salter-Harris Type II, affecting the lower part of the right humerus. The fracture has not healed correctly, resulting in a malunion, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care or treatment related to this complication.

Use this code when documenting a patient encounter for ongoing management or treatment of a malunited Salter-Harris Type II fracture of the distal right humerus. This applies to situations where the initial treatment has concluded, and the patient is now being seen for issues arising from the improper healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "malunion" and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Verify the fracture type (Salter-Harris Type II) and anatomical location (lower end of humerus, right arm).
• Do not use for initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture without malunion.
